Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (250g) Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup (113g) Grass-fed butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) Coconut sugar or Brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Raw honey or Maple syrup
  • 1 Large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Cream the butter and sugars. Mix the softened butter, coconut sugar, and honey in a stand mixer until light and airy.
  2. Incorporate the peanut butter. Add the 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and mix until no streaks remain.
  3. Add the wet ingredients. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture looks velvety.
  4. Whisk the dry essentials. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
  5. Combine the mixtures. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet until a soft dough forms.
  6. Portion the dough. Roll into 1 inch balls (about 35g) and place 2 inches apart on the parchment.
  7. Apply the criss cross. Press a fork into the top of each ball, then rotate 90 degrees and press again until the edges slightly crack.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven until the edges are golden but centers look soft.
  9. Cool on the sheet. Let them rest for 10 minutes until they firm up enough to move.
