Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup powdered peanut butter pb2
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together half of the peanut butter powder and the water. Then add in maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.

Notes

  • Flatten the cookies with the back of a wet fork. The wet fork prevents sticking and gives you that classic crosshatch pattern. Roll each portion of dough into a ball first, then press down with the fork.
  • The cookies will be very soft when they come out of the oven — don't overbake! They firm up completely as they cool. Pull them at the 8-9 minute mark when they're just turning golden and let them do their thing on the pan.
  • Add sea salt flakes on top after they've cooled. Don't skip this finishing touch! The sea salt really brings out all the flavors and takes these cookies from good to absolutely irresistible.
