Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (125g) peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (56g) almond flour
- 1/3 cup (60g) monk fruit sweetener blend
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp (2g) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) sea salt
Instructions:
- Combine the peanut butter, monk fruit sweetener, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Note: This creates the flavor base.
- Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy and no lumps of sweetener remain.
- Sift in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Note: Sifting prevents flour pockets in the final cookie.
- Fold the ingredients together with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it between your palms into a sphere.
- Place the spheres on a parchment lined baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between them.
- Press down on each ball with a fork in a criss cross pattern to flatten them slightly.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until the edges are turning golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes to set.
