Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter natural, unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Oat Flour can substitute all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Equipment

  • Fork

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the oat flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Baking
  1. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Flatten each cookie with a fork in a crosshatch pattern.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  4. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use natural, unsweetened peanut butter. You can add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture. Ensure cookies are fully cooled before storing to prevent sticking.
