Ingredients

  • ½ cup peanut butter *see notes
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • cup almond flour (=blanched, finely ground almonds)
You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter and maple syrup with a spatula until well combined. Then add in almond flour and stir again until you end up with a soft, paste-like dough.
  • Transfer the cookie dough to the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Scoop out 16 inividual dough balls (the dough will still be quite soft) using a small cookie scoop and place them onto the baking tray.
  • Use a slightly damp fork to flatten the balls and make a criss-cross pattern.
  • Bake for 12 minutes. Take the tray out of the oven and leave the cookies on the hot tray for another 15 minutes (they will continue to bake).
  • Then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let cool completely before serving. Sprinkle with sea salt (optional).

Notes

  • Peanut Butter: make sure to use peanut butter without any additives (no added sugar or oil). Could be replaced with almond butter. 
  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to 1 week in the fridge (they taste best on the day of baking though). To freeze, store cookies in a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Let thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
  • Optional Add-In Ideas: vanilla extract, cinnamon, cacao powder, protein powder, nuts, chocolate chips.
