Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies
Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies combine creamy peanut butter and rich butter with almond flour for a tender, slightly crumbly texture. Date sugar subtly sweetens these cookies, while a touch of baking powder helps them rise gently. Pressing a crisscross pattern on top with a fork creates a classic cookie appearance, and optional sea salt and chopped peanuts add texture and flavor. Baked at 350°F for about 12 minutes, these cookies yield a batch of similar-sized, 2-inch treats, ideal for sharing or snacking.
