Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup Icing sugar
• 2 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
• 1 tbsp ground flax seed
• 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp of Sel Gris or Himalayan Pink Sea Salt
• 1/3 cup Enjoy Life’s Mini Chocolate Chips or any other dairy free chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a large bowl combine all ingredients and stir until well mixed. Steal a few bites of cookie dough…you know…as a…routine quality check.
• On a prepared baking sheet, drop cookie dough by the tablespoon full and flatten them out to your desired cookie thickness (I go for about 1/2″ thick). These cookies don’t spread by themselves. Bake the cookies for 8 to 12 minutes or until the bottom edges are browned.
• Avoid temptation and let the cookies sit for 10 – 15 minutes before moving them (and eating them!). Unlike cookies with flour, these need time to firm up before we can scarf them down.

Notes

Once the cookies have cooled, grab the cookie with the most chocolate chips and enjoy it’s peanut buttery goodness.

That’s all there is to these gluten free, dairy free, egg free cookies to satisfy that inner cookie monster!

Health & Happiness,
