This is an adaptation of an All Recipes recipe I’ve made many many times over the years. I had to find a way to make it healthy and gluten and dairy free. Success!
I think most people in the universe love peanut butter….?
We’ve made the switch to almond butter, and I really love almond butter. But, almond butter is still not peanut butter. Last night I needed peanut butter, in an intense way. Thankfully I had some on hand which is unusual these days! Before I knew about alternative baking, I used to make a certain monster cookie recipe from All Recipes for parties and for anyone who I needed to love me (haha, worked every time). The old recipe calls for no flour, but the usual toxic amount of refined sugar plus other items I no longer carry on hand. With a couple of swaps in the kitchen lab, a new version was created! These are so warm, soft on the inside, crispy on the edges and not too sweet (one could add more sugar if desired, and a tad more palm oil shortening to compensate).
The dough is also incredible, so taste with caution and with self-control! I gave my toddler a half cookie, big mistake. Now I have to hide the rest and eat them in secret.
