INGREDIENTS

Dry:

  • 1 Cup Xyla sweetener

  • 1 Tbspn Molasses (makes above into brown sugar – and cookies are darker).

  • 2 tsp Maple Flakes (Costco), or try 1 Tbspn Real Maple Syrup

  • 2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour

  • 2 tsp Baking Soda

  • 1/3 tsp salt or less

  • 1/2 cup, slivered Nuts, Almonds, Raw, or just crush peanuts up – it’ cheaper!

  • 1 Egg

  • 3/4 Cups Peanut Butter

  • 1/2 C Butter, Salted

  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Mix all Dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

  • Put butter/margarine into a glass container, soften in microwave (maybe 20 seconds or so).

  • Put all wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl.

  • Mix well with spoon, then work dough with hands until it’s nice and smooth.

  • Put oven on 350F.

  • Shape dough into 1 1/4″ round balls, and put on stone cooking sheet. Flatten with fork. (No oiling of stone necessary).

  • Bake for about 30 mins, or until PAST golden brown. A bit ‘overdone’ is good!

They have a grainy texture, and they are darker than in the picture above. However, they are good, especially if you leave them for three days or so before eating – they seem to get a little ‘crunchier the older they get!

 Makes about 50 Cookies.
