Taste and add any extras if desired. If it's too runny, add more oats. If it's too dry, add more honey and peanut butter.

Notes
Nut butter: I prefer to use the Natural Skippy's or JIF (not all natural, as I find it too runny). You can use all natural peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower butter, you may just need to add more oats to reach the right consistency.
Freezer instructions: Place on a small baking sheet and then place in the freezer for 30 minutes or 1 hour until hard to par freeze. Then stack the cookies in a freezer container or zip top bag for up to 3 months.
