Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups finely ground almond flour
- 2/3 cup smooth peanut butter*
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, peanut butter and honey. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is all combined and there are no visible streaks of almond flour remaining. The dough will be very thick and sticky!
- Scoop the cookie dough into 12 equal sized balls, about 1.5 tablespoons each. You can use a large cookie scoop or just eyeball it with a tablespoon! Use your hands to roll them into round balls before placing them on to the baking sheet a few inches apart.
- Use a fork to press lightly down on the cookie balls in two different directions to create the classic crisscross pattern of a peanut butter cookie!
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned. Mine only took 8 minutes so keep an eye on them!
- Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top. Once the cookies have cooled for a few minutes, remove them to a wire rack to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
Cookies can be stored at room temperature, in a sealed container, for 3-4 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
*I use natural peanut butter. If you choose to use a more processed form that contains sugar, consider reducing the amount of honey in the recipe!
