Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your peanut butter, soft coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the almond flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a soft, uniform dough forms.
- Gently fold in the peanut butter chips. Pro-tip: Reserve a small handful of chips to press onto the tops of the cookies before baking for that gourmet look.
- Do not skip this! Refrigerate the dough for 20–30 minutes. Chilling firms up the coconut oil, which controls the spread and ensures the cookies hold their shape.
- Using a small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto a lined baking sheet. Lightly flatten each ball with your palm or a fork.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes.
- Let the cookies rest on the tray for 10 minutes. They are delicate when hot but will firm up into a beautiful, chewy texture as they cool.
