Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup refined coconut oil
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 24 Hershey’s chocolate kisses (unwrapped), for dairy free, make these vegan keto cups or use your favorite dairy free chocolate!
- 1 teaspoon flaked sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add the natural peanut butter, coconut oil, agave nectar, and eggs to a bowl.
- Cream the ingredients together with a handheld electric mixer until smooth.
- Add the blanched almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Be mindful about the sea salt amount. If your peanut butter is already salted or just a saltier brand, decrease the amount of salt you put into the batter. I found 1 teaspoon of salt to be the perfect balance of sweet and salty.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scooper or two tablespoons to dollop ping-pong sized cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet. You’ll work in batches with 12 cookies per baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes. I found that 10 minutes was perfect. One batch I kept in for 12 minutes and the centers got too cooked for my liking. If you like a moist, chewy center, 10 minutes is your aim
- The cookies will puff up.
- As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press the unwrapped kisses into the center.
- The bottoms of the kisses will melt and once the cookies come to room temperature, they’ll harden again and attach to the top of the cookie.
- Sprinkle the cookies with additional flaked sea salt. The sea salt gives that initial salty/sweet vibe as soon as the cookie hits your tastebuds, and it’s seriously worth doing.
