Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter Choose one without palm oil, if needed.
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt , less or more based on salt content of peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1.5 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts
  • optional add ins: a few drops vanilla extract, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Mix in the dough.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Scoop and measure the peanut butter and keep at room temperature for 15 mins or so that it’s easier to work with. You can also microwave it for a few seconds. Then add to a bowl.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix really well. (Use warmed maple syrup to make it easy to mix well) . Chill in the refrigerator for 30 mins
  3. Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Make these into smaller cookies, as there isn’t any gluten to hold making them delicate if too large. I make mine about 1-1.5 tbsp size). Top with crushed peanuts.
  4. Preheat the oven to 340 F (170c) and bake for 10-11 mins. Once the cookies are golden, remove them from the oven.
  5. Let them cool on the sheet for 10 mins. Then transfer to a serving plate or storage container.
  6. These cookies are the best and crisp the day they are made. They will soften a bit the next day. you can reheat them in the oven to crisp them up!

Notes

  • For less delicate cookies , add 1-2 tablespoons of tapioca starch or all purpose flour to the dough.
  • Peanut-free: Use other smooth nut butters or use sunflower seed butter 
  • Powdered sugar: don’t have powdered sugar, put cane sugar or other sugar of choice in a blender, blend until somewhat powdery and use
