FREE Peanut Butter Cookies

I based this cookie recipe on Heidi Swanson’s Cookies

These cookies are Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free & Sugar-Free!

2 cups blanched almond flour (you can grind almonds to a fine flour in your own kitchen)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

1 cup organic chunky peanut butter (if the oil has separated, pour off oil and use thick peanut butter)

¼ cup chopped organic peanuts

1/2 cup maple syrup or agave

1/3 cup shortening

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate larger bowl combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla. Stir until combined. Pour the flour mixture over the peanut butter mixture and stir.  Drop by heaping spoon onto cookie sheet (sprinkle with sea salt chunks if desired).

Bake for 8-12 minutes – Makes 2 – 3 dozen cookies.
