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:

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