Easy Salted Peanut Butter Cookies

Made with oats instead of flour, these naturally gluten free peanut butter cookies are the perfect combination of salty and sweet.

I always make muffins as a go-to snack for my family but I’ve been craving salt lately. Why? Well I’m a bit of a salty runner and that seriously drives my craving. I know you typically see salted caramel but I wanted to do a salted peanut butter cookie. Peanuts… a touch of salt… sounds good to me! Again, I used a very small amount not to offend my kids by the addition.

Instructions

1. Preheat: 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with Silpat or parchment and set aside.
2. Into your stand mixer or bowl with an electric beater, add your pb, sugar, vanilla and almond milk. Blend until creamy smooth.
3. Into your food processor, add your oats, soda and salt. Turn on and blend until a flour is achieved. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and blend until just incorporated.
4. Scoop out the dough onto your prepared sheet. If you wish to go the classic route, press a fork down onto each cookie (criss cross or just do one way like I did). Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden. Remove and let cool completely prior to serving.
5. Store in an airtight container or glass dome. They won’t last long!
