These peanut butter cookies are dangerous. If you're anything like myself, be prepared to eat an entire tray in one sitting. They are also high in protein from the almond flour and peanut butter and don't use a lot of sugar, so I like to believe they're healthy (for cookies that is). The peanut butter keeps them soft and moist on the inside, so they always taste freshly baked! I like to make different variations, changing up the chocolate chip flavours to suit my cravings. Because I like things pretty sweet, my favourite so far is 1/2 cup of Reese peanut butter chips and 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips. If you're looking for something a little less on the sweet side of things, try using semi-sweet chocolate chips or raisins!
Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour/meal
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt (less if peanut butter contains salt)
2 eggs
2/3 cup peanut butter (just peanuts or peanuts and salt)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips of your choice
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the peanut butter and vanilla.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir (batter will be quite sticky).
Roll dough into round balls and lightly flatten them to about 1/2 an inch once they are on the cookie sheet. If dough is sticking to your fingers, get your hands wet with some water before rolling/flattening. Makes about 16 cookies.
