Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies
Description
Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies bring together classic ingredients in a recipe that balances softness and structure. The almond flour provides a nuttier base than typical wheat flour, contributing to a tender yet slightly crumbly texture. Combining date sugar with butter and peanut butter adds a mellow sweetness and richness. Baking powder helps the cookies rise modestly without becoming cakey. The crisscross fork pattern is traditional for peanut butter cookies, ensuring even thickness and a pleasing aesthetic. Optional garnishes like sea salt and chopped peanuts enhance flavor and add crunch. These cookies bake for 11 to 13 minutes at 350°F, resulting in a golden edge with a soft center suitable for enjoying with tea or as a snack.
Portioning the dough using a 1½ inch scoop yields about 36 cookies each about 2 inches in diameter. This size ensures even baking and manageable portions for a treat that holds together well without spreading excessively. The recipe's balance of ingredients creates a satisfying cookie with recognizable peanut butter flavor and a tender bite.
Ingredients
- 8 oz butter salted
- 6 oz date sugar
- 6 oz peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 16 oz almond flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
Instructions
- In a bowl, place the peanut butter, butter and date sugar and mix. Alternatively an electric stand mixer or food processor will work.
- Once blended, add the egg and continue to mix.
- Add the almond flour and baking powder and mix well.
- Using an ice cream scoop, (or spoon,) portion out each cookie onto a Silpat mat on a baking sheet. Using a fork, make a criss cross pattern on the top.
- Optional: decorate with sea salt and chopped unsalted peanuts.
- Then place the baking sheets into a 350 degrees F oven for about 11-13 minutes.
Notes
- Use a 1½ inch scoop or spoon to portion cookie dough for uniform size and baking.
- Optionally sprinkle sea salt and chopped unsalted peanuts on top before baking to add texture and a subtle salty contrast.
- Bake cookies at 350°F for 11–13 minutes; watch for lightly golden edges to avoid overbaking.
