Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
- 0.5 cup Paleo-friendly chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, and baking soda, stirring until well mixed.
In a separate large bowl, mix the creamy natural peanut butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Fold in the chopped nuts and Paleo-friendly chocolate chips, if using.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls, placing each one about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Gently flatten each dough ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
