Chocolate "Peanut Butter" Cookies

I tried a Paleo "peanut butter cookie recipe I found online somewhere. A word to the wise, read the recipes before you try them. If you now any tricks that work for you, and a recipe doesn't follow what sounds right to you, follow your instincts! The batter for those cookies was as liquid as soup! I had to double the flour, then though they had decent flavor, I just wasn't pleased with how they tasted (didn't stop me from sharing them at a church event and getting several compliments on them, lol)


So this recipe is a tweak on that recipe. If I ever make that recipe again, I will make other changes, and it will be my own, then so I can share it, but these...


These came out SOFT, and chocolaty and peanut buttery, without being too strong on either flavor. yum. But the ARE peanut free and egg free.


Chocolate "Peanut Butter" Cookies


2 C Almond Flour

3 Tbsp Truvia

1 box chocolate pudding mix

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1 Tbsp Vanilla

1/2 C Wow Butter (any soy or sunflower seed butter should work fine)

1/2 C Oil of choice (I used Coconut)


In my mixer I blended the Wow Butter and oil, then added each of the remaining ingredients in the reverse order of how I have them listed :)


The dough will be a little soft.


Then place in a cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls, and bake in 350* oven for 10 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for a couple minutes before moving to wire rack to finish cooling.


The cookies should be very soft and crumble kinda easily, so move gently when taking them off the cookie sheet :)


Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

I tried them after they cooled a little, they were good, but soft and crumbly. For the yummiest experience, freeze 'em! YUMMM!
