Choc Peanut Butter Cookies

“There’s something about peanut butter and dark chocolate with a touch of salt”



With winter in full swing, I’m all about hot drinks and cookies! Whether I am reading a good book or snuggled up on the couch with a blanky binge-watching series they are the perfect addition.

I am also completly obsessed about dark choc + PB + salt in one mouthful, who’s with me?

These cookies are also refined sugar-free and can be made vegan by replacing the eggs with a flax egg or egg replacer.

Ingredients

250g natural peanut butter
100g coconut sugar
2 scoops vanilla sky protein powder
1 tsp vanilla paste
2 free-range eggs (a flax egg can be used}
100g sugar-free dark chocolate drops
A pinch of coarse salt

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and prepare a baking tray with some baking paper.
In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs / egg replacer mix the peanut butter + coconut sugar + protein powder + vanilla paste.
Using wet hands scoop a tablespoon of the mixture out and roll into balls, the mixture will be sticky so keep a bowl of water close by to keep your hands wet.
Place onto baking tray leaving 2-3 cm in between each cookie.
Press down using a spoon and bake in the oven for 10 – 15 minutes.
Set aside to cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 30 – 60 seconds or over the stove and dunk cookies into melted chocolate.
Sprinkle with salt and grab your hot drink, see ya on the couch!

Quick Tip: if the spoon sticks to the cookies when pressing them down dip the spoon on the bowl of water between each cookie.
