Description

Grain free and refined sugar free peanut butter cup cookies!


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup grass fed butter (or sub coconut oil), melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 + 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • ~7-8 peanut butter cups, roughly chopped (regular size, not mini)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter (or coconut oil), coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients (besides the peanut butter cups) and mix until a smooth batter forms. The batter will seem dry at first, but just give it a minute to mix together!
  4. Scoop the dough out into 12 cookies. Use your hands to gently shape and slightly flatten each cookie. Gently press the chopped peanut butter cups into the tops of the cookies.
  5. Bake for 11 minutes, then allow to cool. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days.
