And....as promised....here is the delicious soft, chewy, sugar-free peanut butter cookies Aria and I made!
From: http://ohsheglows.com/2010/11/26/auntie-angies-soft-peanut-butter-cookies/"Soft and moist, with lots of peanut butter flavour. Dip these
cookies in almond milk for a delicious treat that is not too sweet. I
used protein packed and nutritious whole grain spelt flour here, but you
can also use all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour too."
Ingredients:
- 2 cups spelt flour (or all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup peanut butter (see note)
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond milk
Directions: Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line a
baking sheet with parchment or a non-stick mat. In a medium mixing bowl
mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. in a large bowl combine the peanut
butter, maple syrup, optional oil (see note below), and vanilla. Stir
until combined. Pour the flour mixture over the peanut butter mixture
and mix. Place the batter into the fridge for 30 minutes to set or
simply wet your fingers and shape into balls. Wet a fork and press down
onto the cookie crosswise. Bake for 11 minutes at 350F and let cool for 5 minutes.Yields 26 cookies.
