Serves: 24 cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 1 c creamy natural peanut butter
  • ½ c turbinado sugar or brown sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
  • ¼ c agave nectar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 c white whole wheat flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • pinch salt (if your peanut butter isn't salted)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix together the peanut butter, sugar, and agave nectar. Add vanilla extract and stir until incorporated.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the same bowl and mix until just combined.
  4. Gently roll into about 24 balls and space about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  5. Press the balls with a fork to get the iconic peanut butter cookie shape. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
  6. Bake for 7 - 9 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes before removing (or they will be extra fragile).
Notes
Nutritional estimate includes a generous 1 tbsp turbinado for sprinkling on top.
