Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter Choose one without palm oil, if needed.
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt , less or more based on salt content of peanut butter
- 1 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 1.5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts
- optional add ins: a few drops vanilla extract, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Mix in the dough.
Instructions
- Scoop and measure the peanut butter and keep at room temperature for 15 mins or so that it’s easier to work with. You can also microwave it for a few seconds. Then add to a bowl.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix really well. (Use warmed maple syrup to make it easy to mix well) . Chill in the refrigerator for 30 mins
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Make these into smaller cookies, as there isn’t any gluten to hold making them delicate if too large. I make mine about 1-1.5 tbsp size). Top with crushed peanuts.
- Preheat the oven to 340 F (170c) and bake for 10-11 mins. Once the cookies are golden, remove them from the oven.
- Let them cool on the sheet for 10 mins. Then transfer to a serving plate or storage container.
- These cookies are the best and crisp the day they are made. They will soften a bit the next day. you can reheat them in the oven to crisp them up!

Notes
- For less delicate cookies , add 1-2 tablespoons of tapioca starch or all purpose flour to the dough.
- Peanut-free: Use other smooth nut butters or use sunflower seed butter
- Powdered sugar: don’t have powdered sugar, put cane sugar or other sugar of choice in a blender, blend until somewhat powdery and use
