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:
- Cream the butter and sugars. Mix the softened butter, coconut sugar, and honey in a stand mixer until light and airy.
- Incorporate the peanut butter. Add the 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and mix until no streaks remain.
- Add the wet ingredients. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture looks velvety.
- Whisk the dry essentials. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
- Combine the mixtures. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet until a soft dough forms.
- Portion the dough. Roll into 1 inch balls (about 35g) and place 2 inches apart on the parchment.
- 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.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven until the edges are golden but centers look soft.
- Cool on the sheet. Let them rest for 10 minutes until they firm up enough to move.
