Description
Delicious and easy peanut butter almond cookies that are gluten-free and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup peanut butter (runny, plus more for filling)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the ingredients: Add the almond flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to a small bowl. Using a spoon or a spatula, mix all of the ingredients together until a smooth dough forms.
- Shape the cookies: Use a miniature cookie scoop to scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough. Place two balls next to each other on the baking sheet so they touch, forming a peanut shape.
- Create the hatch pattern: Use a fork to gently press down and create a crosshatch pattern. Tip: dip your fork in water so it doesn’t stick to the dough.
- Bake the cookies: Bake for 9–10 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges. The cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven — this is normal — they will firm up as they cool.
Notes
- These cookies are gluten-free and perfect for a quick snack.
- For a richer flavor, use dark maple syrup.
