Ingredients

  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup substitute honey if not vegan
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well blended and smooth.
  3. Add almond flour and baking powder until a cookie dough forms.
  4. Divide the dough into 10 equal parts, roll it into balls and place them on the lined baking sheet. (leave 1 inch between them) and flatten them with the back of the fork to form the classic cross pattern on top.
  5. Bake for 8 minutes or until golden. Let them cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Use the right peanut butter: I use natural, unrefined peanut butter for the best flavor! Plus, you'll avoid adding any extra sugar or preservatives.
  • Wet your fork or spatula to avoid sticking. If you want to keep the fork from getting stuck in your cookie dough, moisten it first!
  • Baked goods with almond flour tend to bake faster, so keep an eye on your cookies to ensure they don't burn!
  • Cool the cookies completely. Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes after taking them out of the oven! They will be incredibly soft initially, but will gradually become crispy on the outside and moist in the center as they sit.
