Ingredients
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- ¼ cup liquid sweetener of choice
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup almond or coconut flour
- ⅓ cup ground oat or buckwheat flour
- 2 tbsp Primal Peanut Butter Powder
- Pinch of salt
How to make it
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). While your oven heats up, get ready for some simple but satisfying mixing!
- Melt the peanut butter, coconut oil, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan or microwave until smooth. This creates the creamy, irresistible base for your cookies.
- Fold in the dry ingredients: almond/coconut flour, ground oat/buckwheat flour, peanut butter powder, and salt. Stir until everything is well combined and forms a soft dough.
- Scoop the batter: Using a teaspoon, scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Flatten with a fork: To get that classic peanut butter cookie look, gently press two balls flat with the back of a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
- Optional indulgence: Dip your freshly baked cookies in melted chocolate and sprinkle some extra peanuts on top for an extra special treat.
These cookies are perfect for an afternoon snack, paired with your favourite cup of coffee, or a quick sweet fix after dinner.
