Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup PBfit peanut butter powder (divided, 1/4 cup plus 1/2 cup)
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix PBfit and Water: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of PBfit peanut butter powder with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the remaining 1/2 cup of PBfit powder, almond flour, baking soda, honey, vanilla extract, and egg to the bowl. Mix all ingredients together until the dough is well blended and uniform in texture.
- Form Cookies: Shape the dough into 1-inch rounds. Place the dough balls at least 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet to allow for spreading during baking.
- Flatten and Pattern: Gently flatten each dough ball to approximately 2 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Using a fork, press down on the tops of the cookies to create a crisscross pattern.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set but still soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the cookies soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before removing to prevent breaking.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan variation; however, the original recipe includes egg, so it’s not vegan as is.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
