  • 1/4 cup creamy and runny salted peanut butter like Trader Joe’s brand
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp white sugar or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp instant coffee
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 1 tbsp tapioca flour or arrowroot powder or cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips

  • Flaky sea salt optional but recommended

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In an electric mixer, combine softened butter, coconut sugar, and cane sugar. Mix on medium to high speed for at least 60 seconds until fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add egg yolk, vanilla extract, instant coffee, and peanut butter. Whisk again until pale and fluffy, about 60 seconds.
  • Incorporate almond flour, baking soda, and tapioca flour. Mix for 20-30 seconds until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, scoop dough and roll into balls. Place on the baking sheet and top with additional chocolate chips if desired.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and tops are slightly firm. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, then let cool for 5 minutes before enjoying!

Notes

  • Using an electric mixer is crucial for achieving the fluffy cookie texture.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Ensure the butter is softened but not too warm for optimal texture.
