Peanut Butter Cookies
Easy gluten free peanut butter cookies made with oat flour for whole grain goodness. Add a little maple syrup to the dough for an extra hint of subtle sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup oat flour, (140 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the peanut butter and butter until light and fluffy, about one minute. Add the sugar and maple syrup and beat on high speed for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Reduce speed to medium and add the egg and vanilla; beat until well blended.
- Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Then take a spatula and scrape up from the bottom of the bowl to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated. Place the bowl in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- When ready to bake, heat oven to 350℉and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a teaspoon or a cookie spoon, scoop up generous helpings of dough, roll between your hands to form balls, and place on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart. With a fork dipped lightly in water, press the tines onto the dough to lightly flatten. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with salt if you like.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, until cookies are lightly browned and just set. Remove from oven, let cool 2 minutes on baking sheets, then remove cookies to a rack until they cool completely.
