We are excited to share a recipe that will spark your love for peanut butter. These Peanut Butter Cookies are incredibly flavorful, simple to make, and a must-try. Get ready for a unique culinary experience!
Ingredients for Peanut Butter Cookies:
- 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar, if preferred)
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or water)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup oat flour (if you are gluten-sensitive, ensure you use certified gluten-free oats)
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut sugar, almond milk, vanilla extract (if using), and salt until you achieve a smooth, delicious cream. One quick taste test and you’ll see how amazing this already is!
- Add the oat flour and baking powder to the creamy peanut mixture and stir well until you get a firm, yet soft dough. The texture may vary slightly depending on your peanut butter, so adjust as needed.
- Time to shape the cookies! Use about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll them with your hands. Flatten the cookies with a fork to create a classic crisscross pattern.
- Place the cookies on a non-stick or greased baking sheet. This recipe yields approximately 10 cookies.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep in mind that the cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven, so take them out just before they fully firm up and let them rest for a few minutes to set.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
And that’s it! Your Peanut Butter Cookies are perfectly ready to enjoy. They have a soft texture and an incredible taste—you’ll need some serious self-control not to eat them all at once!
Storage Tip:
These cookies can be stored for up to 4 days at room temperature, up to 10 days in the refrigerator, and can also be frozen for later enjoyment.
Pro Tip:
Oats are an amazing and affordable ingredient. You can make your own oat flour by pulsing rolled oats in a blender or food processor until fine. Sifting the oat flour can be an extra step to ensure the perfect texture.
