Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter with the maple syrup until well combined. Cover the bowl and freeze for 45 minutes or refrigerate for two hours to firm up the dough.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Shape Cookies: Remove the chilled cookie dough from the freezer or fridge. Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls and place them evenly spaced onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each ball into a cookie shape with your hands, then use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before carefully removing them to avoid breaking.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup if desired.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for a healthier version.
- For crispier cookies, bake closer to 12 minutes; for chewier cookies, bake nearer to 10 minutes.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
