Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup millet flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly using a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the ingredients are well blended and smooth.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the millet flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a consistent dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky but should hold together.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into 12 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Using a fork, gently press a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie, flattening them slightly. This helps the cookies spread evenly and creates a classic peanut butter cookie appearance.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers appear set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Ensure your peanut butter is at room temperature for easier mixing • Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes to guarantee even baking • Don't overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender • Let cookies cool completely to develop the best texture • For extra richness, use natural peanut butter with no added sugar • If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before shaping • Use a fork to create classic crisscross patterns, which helps cookies bake evenly • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness
