Easy Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe


These are honestly the easiest cookies to make, from start to finish it was about 30 minutes, you only need 4 ingredients and they are so delicious! I was seriously craving something sweet but salty earlier on and these definitely hit that spot.

They're crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and they go great with a cup of tea.

Directions:
  • Cream the peanut butter, dairy-free butter, and sugar in a bowl. It's a good idea to warm these together slightly as it makes mixing easier - though if you have an electric whisk you don't need to worry about that haha. 
  • Add coconut flour and combine.
  • Set oven to 160℃ / Gas mark 3 / 325℉
  • Grease or line a baking tray.
  • Space walnut sized portions evenly on tray. 
  • Use a fork to push down slightly. 
  • Bake for 13 - 15 minutes, until golden and your kitchen smells yummy!

I only had smooth peanut butter in the cupboard, but crunchy will definitely give it a better texture. I chopped up some mixed nuts and added those to give the cookies a bit of crunch. 
The longer you leave them in the oven the crisper the cookie will be - I love my cookies to be chewy so I took them out at about the 13 minute mark!
