The first thing that I did to create these Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies was to add peanut butter and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl.

I then used an electric mixer to cream these two ingredients together before beating in one large egg.

Next I measured in some almond flour and used the electric hand mixer again.  You may need to finish off the mixing with a large spoon.

I made sure that all of the almond flour was incorporated into the batter.

Then I lined a baking sheet with parchment paper and used a 1 tablespoon scoop to drop balls onto the sheet.

I pressed down the balls of cookie dough with a fork before baking them in the oven.

After 8 – 10 minutes, or when they were turning golden brown around the bottom edges, I removed them from the oven.  I allowed the cookies to cool for a few minutes before removing them to a cooling rack.

I allowed them to completely cool on the rack.

These soft chewy cookies are filled with flavour and are so easy to whip up when you have a peanut butter craving.

Grab one for a quick snack or pack them in lunches where peanut butter is allowed.

Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies are sure to be a hit in your home with young and old alike!

I don't like the list of ingredients in the craft peanut butter. Can I use natural peanut butter would they still work and taste delicious?

Hi Basia, I have had someone else ask the same thing. I understand about the Kraft peanut butter. We are about to switch to Jiff. I think it should be ok with natural. If you try it be sure to let us know!! Take care, Kathleen

Is it natural peanut butter that you use. They sound delish. Can't wait to try them.

Hi Shelina, I used regular smooth peanut butter. I am sure you could use natural peanut butter as well. Take care, Kathleen

I made these for my son, he’s a T1D he said they are so good. I used Truvia brown sugar and I baked them for 7 minutes. Very good low carb cookies.

I'm prediabetic. Can the brown sugar be replaced with Swerve brown sugar and still bake up right?

Kathleen

Hi Annie, I am not familiar with that type of brown sugar but will leave your question here in case someone else can help you with this... Take care, Kathleen
