Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer or using a handheld electric mixer, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, and coconut sugar on medium-high speed for about 1 minute.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in the egg and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-low speed for about 20 seconds, until combined.
- Add almond flour, baking powder, and salt (if using). Mix on medium-low speed until combined.
- Roll the dough into 16-18 equal-sized balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
- Gently press each cookie into a patty shape using a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top. Don't press too hard!
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, until the cookies are light golden brown. They will continue to cook on the baking sheet as they cool, so don’t worry if they’re a little pale.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- Coconut Sugar: Can substitute with ½ cup of light brown sugar.
- Do NOT use almond meal.
- Butter: For a dairy-free option, use sticks of vegan butter.
- Peanut butter: You can swap peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
- Use smooth peanut butter: You want a smooth, runny peanut butter with just peanuts as the ingredient. This helps the dough come together nicely. Avoid grainy or dry peanut butter.
- Storage: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
