Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup vegan butter/butter, melted
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (drain oil if natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In large mixing bowl whisk dry ingredients together (almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon).
- Then add wet ingredients to dry ingredients (coconut sugar, melted butter, peanut butter, vanilla, and egg). Then fold in chocolate chips.
- Freeze dough for 10 minutes (this is optional but helps form cookie dough better). Use a cookie scoop to measure dough and use hands to roll into dough balls.
- Lay 2-3 inches apart on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8 minutes - let cookies cool for 5-10 minutes before enjoying. See notes for storing tips.
Notes
- Simple clean up: To make clean up simple and quick I recommend lining your cookie sheet with parchment paper. If you do not have parchment paper on hand you can use an oil or butter to grease your cookie sheet instead.
- For making ahead of time: If you are making these cookies ahead of time for an event or party, you can chill dough for 1 to 2 days in refrigerator then bake when needed.
- Natural sweeteners: I've only tested this recipe with non-liquid sugars - results may vary using natural liquid sweeteners.
