Peanut Butter Cookies on a dreary, rainy day? Yes, please! When my 6-year-old suggested making cookies today, so we would have a treat to share with our visiting friends (and a treat for himself!), it sounded like a delicious idea. I modified my Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe (see HERE) to make a batch of Peanut Butter Cookies. I made classic Peanut Butter Cookies for me, and my son wanted Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies for him. The recipe works well, no matter which way you decide to make them.

Grain-Free Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe

1 cup Peanut Butter
2/3 cup Coconut Sugar
1 Egg
¼ teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Ground Vanilla Beans (you can read about it HERE) or vanilla extract
Chocolate Chips, optional

Stir together all ingredients, except the chocolate chips, until blended. If desired, you can add the chocolate chips at this point and mix them in. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten with your hand or a fork.

Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 12 minutes.

Let cool before serving, otherwise your cookies will crumble apart.

NOTE: We a two-ingredient peanut butter that contains only peanuts and salt.
