Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups finely ground almond flour
  • 2/3 cup creamy natural peanut butter well stirred
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, peanut butter, and maple syrup or honey.
  3. Stir with a spoon until a thick, sticky dough forms and the ingredients are fully combined.
  4. Scoop the dough into 12 even portions, roll into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Gently flatten each ball with your fingertips to form cookie shapes.
  6. Bake on the center rack for 10 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 to 10 minutes.
  8. If desired, sprinkle the warm cookies with flaky sea salt.
  9. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

- Store completely cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days with parchment between layers.
- Refrigerate for up to 1 week for a slightly firmer, fudgier texture.
- Freeze in a freezer safe container with parchment between layers for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- If the dough seems crumbly when mixing, add 1 teaspoon extra maple syrup; if it seems too soft, add 1 to 2 tablespoons almond flour.
