Ingredients
1cuppeanut butter
3Tbsphoney or maple syrup
1/2tbspvanillaoptional
1egg or 1 flax egg - 1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water
Don't over mix your dough! Otherwise, it will result in a tough dough.
Take the Egg and the peanut butter out of the fridge about 10 to 20 minutes before you start making your cookies. They combine easily when they are at room temperature.
I prefer to use parchment paper instead of spraying my pan. If you don't have parchment paper just bake it directing on your baking tray. It will still come off easily, you might just have a little more cleaning to do.
These are soft and chewy cookies so it's advisable to bake for just 10 minutes. It's okay if it doesn't look done at this time, it will continue to cook for a few minutes after they are out from the oven. However, if you want your cookies a bit crunchy (crispier texture), feel free to add a couple of minutes to the baking time.
Leave the cookies to cool completely before eating.
