Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter and chocolate is a romance made in heaven! These cookies will take you there.

Ingredients:

• 1 TBS flax meal + 3 TBS water

• 1 cup blanched almond flour

• ¼ cup smooth peanut butter

• ¼ cup plus 2 TBS coconut sugar or other minimally-processed granulated sweetener

• ¼ cup non-alkalized cocoa powder

• ½ tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Mix the flax meal with the water and set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 350° F.

3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

4. Combine all ingredients until everything is well incorporated—you could use a food processor, I just used a bowl and a wooden spoon.

5. Drop by tablespoons onto the parchment lined tray (I use a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop for cookies; it works great). The dough will be very crumbly so you’ll need to press each cookie together well.

6. Flatten each with your fingers, then with a fork, criss-crossing a waffle design. Reshape the edges a bit if they get too ragged.

7. Sprinkle with a little more sugar.

8. Bake for 20 minutes.

9. Let cool (good luck with that).
