Notes
Use a natural, no sugar added peanut butter.
If your peanut butter has salt apart from peanuts, you may want to omit using salt. But I always add a pinch.
*Substitute flax egg or ground chia seeds for egg in this recipe.
Flax eggs- Combine 2 tbsp ground flax seeds with 5 tbsp water and let it sit for 10 minutes. Use as directed.
Use ground chia seeds as it is. Start with 2 tbsp and make the dough as directed. If the dough is till runny, add an extra tablespoon.
** I like the edges golden and crispy so I bake for 15 minutes. If you want it slightly less golden and soft, check your cookies at 13 minute mark and remove from the oven.
Cookies will stay fresh in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks in room temperature.
To freeze, place the baked cookies on a lined baking sheet and freeze. Store the frozen cookies in a zip lock bag and the cookies can be kept in the freezer for up to 6 months.
