  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and then set aside.
  2. Into a large bowl, add in the peanut butter, vanilla, and maple syrup and stir until it is smooth and combined.
  3. Next, add in the almond flour and cocoa powder over the creamy peanut butter mixture. Using a spatula start to combine the ingredients until a thick dough is formed. You may use your hands to knead the dough until you can form a giant ball.
  4. Using a scooper, scoop out even-sized dough balls and place them onto the prepared sheet pan, 1-inch apart.
  5. Using the back of a fork, press down the  top of the cookie dough balls.
  6. Sprinkle with sea salt, if using, and gently press on the sea salt flakes with your fingers into the dough.
  7. Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on a cooling wire rack until they are firm. Enjoy!
