Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 24 squares of dark chocolate
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, add the almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir until combined. Add the maple syrup, vanilla, and peanut butter. Stir until combined and place in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes.
- Remove dough from the fridge and roll into 24 even sized balls. Place the balls on your prepared baking sheets and press each ball gently with your hand to slightly flatten it. Note that these cookies will not spread very much.
- Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and immediately place one square of chocolate in the centre of each cookie. Allow the chocolate to melt and then cool before enjoying.
