December’s Healthy Recipe: Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

peanutbuttercookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Natural Peanut Butter
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Large egg, lightly beaten
  • Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and egg until well combined.  Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1  inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies.  Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.
  • Bake until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the sheets halfway through baking.  Transfer to racks to cool.  Repeat with the remaining dough.
