I started off thinking I’d just make these for my mom and not eat any myself, because they use coconut flour and I hate coconut. In the finished cookie, though, I didn’t really notice a coconut flavor, and they were actually quite tasty!

The dough of these cookies is pretty dry, but you can press it together with your hands, and the baked cookies aren’t crumbly and dry.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

In a small bowl, stir together the coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. In  another small bowl, mix together the egg, yolk, and vanilla.

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and brown sugar until well combined.

Add the egg mixture to the peanut butter mixture and mix well.

Sprinkle the dry goods over the peanut butter mixture and beat until just combined.

Add the chocolate chips and beat for another few seconds to mix them in. This kinda crumbled up the lumps of dough that had come together, but the dough would still back together if pressed.

Cover the dough and refrigerate for about an hour. Don’t leave overnight, as the dough will dry out too much.

Preheat the oven to 365 degrees and grease or line a cookie sheet. Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and pack the dough together in your hands.

Bake 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned.

Cool on the sheet for a while, then enjoy!
