Ingredients in These Grain Free Peanut Butter Cookies:
Peanut Butter - I love using roasted, creamy peanut butter with no added ingredients for these cookies. You can also use any other creamy nut butter if you'd like. Almond butter would work great as a substitute!
Coconut Sugar - adds a light sweetness to these cookies while keeping them refined sugar free
Honey - you can also use maple syrup in a 1:1 ratio
Almond Flour - adds a lovely texture to these cookies while keeping them chewy and grain free.
Egg - sub flax egg for vegan
Vanilla Extract
Baking soda
Salt + flakey sea salt for topping (optional)
Tips for Making these Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies
-Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the bottoms don't brown too quickly.
-Let cookies cool at least 20 mins on your baking sheet after baking! This allows them to set and firm up and they will be soft and fragile right out of the oven.
-These cookies have a delicious soft and chewy texture. Bake 1-2 mins extra if you prefer a firmer cookie texture.
