Description

These Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies are a delicious guilt-free treat that’s easy to make and perfect for those with dietary restrictions. Made with natural ingredients and sweetened with honey or maple syrup, these cookies are gluten-free and dairy-free, making them a great option for those with dietary sensitivities.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the baking soda and salt until fully combined.
  4. Add optional ingredients: If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips or chopped peanuts.
  5. Shape and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Press each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • For a vegan version, use a flax egg instead of a regular egg and maple syrup instead of honey.
