Ingredients

Scale

2 Cups Almond Flour (fine ground)
1/2 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
1/2 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients: whisk 2 cups almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt until no lumps remain and the flour is airy and light
  3. In a separate bowl, mix your wet ingredients together: combine 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/3 cup maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the mixture looks smooth and glossy
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a sturdy spatula to fold the mixture together, being careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain a tender texture
  5. Gently fold in 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Press them down slightly with the back of a spoon to help them bake evenly
  7. Slide the tray into the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown while the centers remain soft
  8. Once removed from the oven, let the desserts cool on the pan for at least five minutes to allow them to set properly
  9. Move them to a wire rack to cool completely, then serve warm and enjoy the smiles they bring

Notes

To achieve the perfect texture, always measure flour using the "spoon and level" method and ensure all refrigerated ingredients are at room temperature.

Use an oven thermometer to verify your oven's accuracy and always use parchment paper to prevent gluten-free dough from sticking.

If your dough is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for fifteen minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days on the counter or up to a week in the refrigerator. For longer storage, wrap individually and freeze for up to three months.

For a fresh-from-the-oven experience, reheat thawed desserts in the microwave for ten seconds or a toaster oven at 300°F for five minutes.

Customize these desserts by swapping chocolate chips for dried cranberries or chopped walnuts, or add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm flavor. For nut allergies, substitute almond flour with an oat flour blend.
