Step-by-Step Instructions for Nutty Chia Seed Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 320ºF (160ºC) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, honey, milk, olive oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and chia seeds, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Scoop tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, flatten to half an inch, and place on the tray.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden around edges; the center should stay soft.
  6. Allow cookies to cool on the tray for 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
