Description

These sweet + salty Almond Peanut Butter Cookies are a gluten-free, refined sugar-free, egg-free, and dairy-free treat that can be made in less than 20 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup honey (see notes in post above for a Keto-friendly stevia swap)
  • 1/3 cup thick peanut butter (may sub for almond or other nut butter)
  • 5 tbsp coconut oil, softened
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt, plus more to top if desired
  • 2 cups almond flour

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F (176 C)

  1. Cream raw honey, peanut butter, and coconut oil together in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon or spatula. Then add vanilla, baking soda, and salt and mix.
  2. Add almond flour and mix until a thick dough forms.
  3. Portion dough into 1 tbsp spoonfuls and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking liner.
  4. Press down on each ball of dough with a fork crosswise, to form the traditional peanut butter cookie indentations.
  5. Sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of fine sea salt if desired.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies should be golden brown around the edges.
  7. The cookies will be fragile when warm, so I like to let them cool slightly for approx 10 minutes before transferring them to an airtight container.

Notes

If made in the 1 tbsp size, as recommended, this recipe produces small roughly a two-bite cookies.
