No Bake Peanut Butter Cookies
If you’re like me and love peanut butter, you’ll really love these peanut butter cookies. They’re satisfying and a great treat.
These cookies are soft and they don’t become very firm, which is great because they’re not too dense. Because they stay too soft when kept in the fridge, I keep mine in the freezer and let them thaw for 5-10 minutes to eat whenever I’m craving something sweet!
What You’ll Need
- natural peanut butter
- chopped nuts
- honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option, use a sugar-free sweetener for low carb option)
- salt
- coconut flour
- almond flour
- a fork
- bowl
- airtight container
- parchment paper
How to make these peanut butter cookies
Add the peanut butter, honey, salt, coconut flour and almond flour to a small bowl and mix together using a fork.
Put some water on your hands to keep them wet to prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers and form walnut-sized balls from this mixture. Place the balls on a parchment paper and press them down with a fork in one direction and then the other to make the pattern.
Sprinkle some chopped nuts on top and press in gently, so that the nuts stay in and don’t fall off. Refrigerate for an hour or freeze and let thaw for 5-10 minutes!
Enjoy your guilt-free cookies!
