PRINT RECIPE

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter smooth works best
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and either spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray or line it with a spill mat.
  • In a stand mixer, or in a large bowl using electric beaters, cream together peanut butter and sugars.
  • Add in egg and egg yolk until just combined.
  • Next, add the almond flour and baking soda and mix until combined and dough is uniform.
  • Take rounded tablespoons and roll the dough into a ball. Repeat this process with remaining cookie dough, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Next, take a fork, dip it in sugar, and press the fork on top of the cookies to flatten them and create an "x" shape with fork marks. Sprinkle on additional sugar if desired. Repeat this process to all cookies.
  • Bake the cookies for 9 minutes until golden brown.
  • Allow cookies to cool fully, ideally on a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to add in some chocolate chips, shredded coconut, M & M's etc!
  • Store these cookies on the counter for up to 5-7 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months.
  • You can use natural peanut butter or something like JIF. Both will work!
  • I suggest only using almond flour. If you're using more typical flours like all-purpose, whole wheat or 1:1 gluten free flour I'd suggest following my small batch peanut butter cookies recipe. I have not tested this recipe with other flours like coconut or casava flour.
