Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut or almond butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (adjustable, depending on what nut butter you use!)
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, coconut sugar, and egg. Add almond flour 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing in between, until the dough is thick and easy to roll into balls (not too sticky). You may end up using more or less almond flour here, depending on what nut butter you use.
  3. Roll the dough into 18 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Using a fork, flatten the cookies, making a cross pattern.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are browning. (Bake less for chewy cookies and more for crispy cookies).
  6. Let cool before serving. They will harden as they cool.

Notes

If you don't have almond flour, there are similar recipes that use 1 cup of coconut sugar and no almond flour. This will make a sweeter cookie.
