Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup drippy
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
• Dry
• 2/3 cup light brown sugar (packed (option to use coconut sugar*))
• 1/2 cup finely ground
• 3 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• coarse sea salt (for topping)

Steps

1. 1

   First, preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

2. 2

   Next, place all ingredients into a medium bowl and mix until combined. Then, add melted coconut oil and mix again. Your dough should be similar to classic cookie dough. If it feels too dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil. If it feels a little too wet, you can add 1-2 more tablespoons of almond flour.

3. 3

   Use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop dough into your hands. Roll into a ball and slightly flatten and place on the baking sheet. These cookies will expand, so I like to do 8 per cookie sheet. Repeat until all dough is gone.

4. 4

   Add additional chocolate chips (if you love chocolate) to the tops of each cookie and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

5. 5

   Bake at 350ºF for 10-13 minutes, or until the cookies begin to turn golden brown on the outsides.

6. 6

   Let cookies sit on the hot baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer from the baking sheet to a cooling rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes before eating. As the cookies cool, they will firm up, so be sure to let this process happen.

7. 7

   Let cookies cool completely before storing in an airtight container. As they cool, they will firm up even more.
