Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, rye flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Set the dry mixture aside.
  • In a second bowl, whisk the egg and canola oil until combined and slightly emulsified. Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract and whisk until evenly mixed.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon just until blended. The dough will be dry and slightly crumbly.
  • Use about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Press the portion together and roll into a compact 1-inch ball with your hands.
  • Place the dough balls 1 inch apart on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake on the middle rack until the cookies are deep golden brown, about 12 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately sprinkle a little fleur de sel on top of each cookie.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
