Ingredients

170 g (1 and ¾ cup) almond flour*
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
75 g (⅓ cup) unsalted butter (melted)
160 g (⅔ cup) pure peanut butter**
110 g (½ cup) light brown sugar***
50 g (¼ cup) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F(177°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Place the almond flour, baking soda and salt if using in a small-medium bowl. Stir and set aside.
Melt the butter halfway in a small pan over medium heat. Take from the heat and stir with a fork/spoon till melted.
Place the melted butter and peanut butter in a medium bowl and stir with a whisk.
Add the sugar and stir with a whisk until combined. Mix in the egg and stir in the vanilla.
Add the almond flour mixture and stir with a spoon.
Make 1 and ½ tablespoon big balls (almost 30 grams) out of the dough and place onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies slightly set on top and the edges become golden brown. Cookies will be too soft when you remove them from the oven but they will be firm once cooled on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.

Notes

*You can easily make your almond flour. You can check my how to blanch almonds and make almond flour post.

**You can make your homemade peanut butter. Don't add any sweetener.

***You can make your homemade brown sugar if you don't have it (as long as you have molasses).

Chocolate Chip Version: If you want to add chocolate chips, you can stir in 120 grams (⅔ cup) of chocolate chips evenly after step 6.

How to Store: You can keep totally cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature and for up to 3 months in the freezer.

How to Freeze Cookie Dough: If you want to freeze the cookie dough, you can roll the dough into balls and slightly press to the top before placing them into the freezer. Once you want to bake the cookies, as you preheat the oven, remove them from the freezer and bake as the recipe states.
