I am truly in love with these cookies. They are so peanut buttery and tasty. The best part about these cookies is that they take less than 20 minutes from start to finish. The flaky sea salt on top is optional, but highly recommended. The sweet and salty mix is chef's kiss!
Ingredients in this recipe
- almond flour
- creamy natural peanut butter (make sure oil is completed stirred and well incorporated)
- pure maple syrup
- baking soda
- vegan dark chocolate chips
- flaky sea salt - optional
Expert Tips
- Creamy natural peanut butter is more oily than a generic peanut butter such as SKIPPY®. Ensure the oil sitting at the top of the peanut butter jar is completely stirred and well incorporated. This recipe will not work if the oil is separated. Also, the only ingredients in the peanut butter should be peanuts and salt, or just peanuts.
- It's very easy to over-bake these cookies. 6-8 minutes is perfect.
- You must let the cookies cool completely before digging in. They will be very soft when removed from the oven. They will firm up as they cool.
- Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Use a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop and roll the cookie dough into balls with your hands. Then, press and flatten to form round disks. Place them onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Lastly, use the back of a fork, making a criss-cross pattern. (See photo above.)
- Bake the cookies.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet pan for 1-2 minutes. If desired, add flaky sea salt. Then, use a slotted spatula to transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Store in an airtight container on the counter for a couple of days.
Use a keto liquid sweetener in place of maple syrup. I love Lakanto's Sugar-Free Maple Syrup. Then, ditch the chocolate chips or use keto chocolate chips.

Hi Krista, we loved these cookies! I'm so happy to have found you on Instagram. I substituted with almond butter & sugar free maple syrup. I know your version must be yummy, but I'm trying to lose weight.😊 They were amazing! Thx again! Can't wait to make more of your recipes.👍

The dough was crumbly but delicious. I packed it together with my hands. Maybe my pb wasn't wet enough.
Yes, I assume you did not use creamy natural peanut butter or it was not stirred. Please see the section "Expert Tips" above addressing the peanut butter.
