These cookies are so easy to make with a melt in the mouth crumbly texture that will have you coming back for more!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of peanut butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups ground almonds or almond flour
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the ingredients are well mixed.
- Add the almond flour to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms. The amount of almond flour needed may vary according to how runny your peanut butter is.
- Using your hands or spoon, portion out the dough and roll into balls. Lay on your prepared baking sheet and flatten each cookie with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern. This not only adds the classic PB cookie look but also ensures even baking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overbaking, as this can result in dry and crumbly cookies.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying.
That's it! Now just grap a cuppa and enjoy your cookies! 🍪
