Fabulous Peanut Butter Cookies
Grain-free! Sugar-free!
I've been grain-free for nearly two years now. No, I don't feel deprived and yes, I actually enjoy my new way of eating. I especially enjoy greater freedom of movement and I definitely don't miss those dreadful sinus headaches.
But hey, everyone loves cookies. So my daughter took it upon herself to develop a cookie recipe that I could enjoy. And do I ever!
Mercedes agreed to share her recipe with everyone. I hope you enjoy it, and please, if you repost, give her credit. This is her very first published recipe and she deserves a pat on the back. I'm really proud of her.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
NOTE: All ingredients are approximations!
- 16 oz sugar-free peanut butter (either chunky or creamy, your choice)
- 2 cubes butter (1/2 pound)
- splash vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1/8 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
- about 10 pkts of Stevia
- 3/4-1c coconut flour
Mix the first 8 ingredients in a bowl until semi-fluffy, then add the coconut flour a little at a time until you have a loose cake batter or thick pancake batter.
Let sit and firm up about 20-30 minutes.
Roll into balls, place on greased baking sheet, then gently cross hatch.
Bake at 425 8-12 min just until browned. (Remember, ovens vary.)
And there you go! They go great with a chocolate protein shake. Just sayin'.
