Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (unsweetened if possible)
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1 – Preheat oven
Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2 – Mix the dough
In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, almond flour, coconut sugar, egg, baking soda, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
Step 3 – Shape the cookies
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving space in between. Flatten slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
Step 4 – Bake
Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Step 5 – Cool and serve
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store for later.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra crunch, use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy.
- Swap coconut sugar for monk fruit sweetener or regular brown sugar.
- If dough feels sticky, chill it in the fridge for 15 minutes before rolling.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for 2 months.
