These grain free, gluten free, and dairy free cookies are delicious, super easy to make, and very fun for Hanukkah!
Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour (95 grams)
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup smooth peanut butter (255 grams)
¾ cup, packed brown sugar (165 gr)
1 large egg
2 Tblsp coconut oil, melted (or other oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Non-dairy, gf Hanukkah gelt coins
Instructions
● Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
● In a small bowl, sift or whisk together the almond flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
● In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, oil and vanilla.
● Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
● Scoop the cookie dough into 1½ tablespoon balls and place on prepared baking sheets. With the back of a spoon or the palm of your hand, flatten the dough balls so they are approximately ½ inch thick.
● Bake for 12 minutes.
● While cookies are baking, unwrap the chocolate coins. Just as the cookies come out of the oven, gently place a coin in the center of each cookie. (The heat from the cookie will melt the bottom to make the coin stick to the cookie.)
● Allow to cool completely and the chocolate to set.
Notes
● I have used peanut oil in these cookies instead of coconut oil, but I preferred the consistency of the cookies with coconut oil.
● If using milk chocolate gelt, allow the cookies to cool for a minute before placing them on the baked cookies. Milk chocolate melts faster and at lower temperature than dark chocolate.
