Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed and free of any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a consistent dough forms. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently press down on each cookie with a fork to create a classic crisscross pattern, slightly flattening the cookies.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are 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.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- To ensure the perfect Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies, follow these expert tips:* Make sure to use high-quality almond flour that is finely ground for the best texture. * Don't overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough cookies. * Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough for uniform cookies. * Pressing down on the cookies with a fork creates a beautiful crisscross pattern and helps them bake evenly. * Keep an eye on the cookies during the last 2 minutes of baking, as they can quickly go from perfectly golden to burnt.
