Flourless Paleo Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies Recipe

 #Flourless #Paleo #Peanut #Butter #Chocolate #Cookies #Recipe

(Makes 12 cookies)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter (use the kind where the only ingredient is peanuts)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
• coarse salt for sprinkling on top

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set it aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, egg, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Roll the dough into balls, about 2 heaping tablespoons each.  I used the OXO good grips medium cookie scoop.  Then gently flatten the dough with your hand.
5. Bake them in the preheated oven for 7 to 8 minutes.  Do not over bake them.  They will feel soft to the touch but they will firm up as they cool.
6. When you remove the cookies from the oven, sprinkle a little bit of coarse salt on top of them.
7. Allow the cookies to cool on cookie sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finishing cooling.
