Description

These cookies are just so easy that anyone will enjoy baking them. And eating them.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter (such as Skippy)
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of jam of your choice (I like Trader Joe’s and Bonne Maman brands)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour and kosher salt.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large mixing bowl), beat together the peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and mix until combined.
  4. Roll small piece of dough (approximately 1 ounce) between your palms and slightly flatten onto the baking sheet. Make a slight imprint on top with your thumb and fill with a small amount of jam (about 1/2 teaspoon per cookie). Continue with remaining dough and jam.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges are slightly golden brown. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack. Store in an airtight container.
