Peanut butter cookies

Peanut butter cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup sugar or splenda (use Splenda for a low carb alternative)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

(OPTIONAL) add some almond flour/meal if mixture seems "too wet"


Directions: 


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the racks in the upper part of the oven.

In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar/splenda, vanilla and egg until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt/splenda on top of the cookies.

Bake until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes depending on elevation/oven, Switch the position of the sheets halfway through baking. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.
