Ingredients

  • ½ cup natural peanut butter *see notes

You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F/ 180°C.
  • In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter and coconut sugar.
  • Stir with a spatula until well combined (the dough will still be quite runny).
  • Scoop out 9-10 individual portions of cookie dough using a small cookie scoop and place them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes. Then remove from the oven and let cool completely (they will firm up a bit more once cooled).

Notes

  • Coconut Sugar: You could try using finely granulated brown sugar instead of coconut sugar however, this will result in slightly sweeter cookies as coconut sugar isn't as sweet as regular sugar. Additionally, coconut sugar doesn't hold as much moisture as brown sugar does so the cookies might turn out more dense or a bit drier. 
  • Peanut Butter: For the recipe to work it's important to use creamy, natural peanut butter without any additives such as vegetable oils. An additional pinch of salt is fine but make sure that there's no added oils included. I used unsweetened peanut butter.
