- 1 cup natural unsweetened peanut butter
- 1/2 cup organic butter softened
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 3/4 cup almond meal
- 1/4 cup ground flax
- 2 tablespoons ground burdock root
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoon organic sugar for rolling
Blend together peanut butter, butter, honey, egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl mix dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to wet and blend until evenly incorporated. Chill dough for 30 minutes. NOTE: Different grinds on coconut and almond meals may affect texture of dough; your dough should be relatively firm and not too sticky -- consider adding more or less dry ingredients as appropriate.
Roll dough into walnut sized balls, then roll into sugar, coating evenly. Place on a parchment or silicone mat lined cookie sheet and press down firmly with the tines of a fork creating a cross hatch pattern.
Place cookie sheet with formed cookies in freezer for 15 minutes (this helps control cookie "spread").
Bake cookies in a 350 degree (F) oven for 9 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before removing
