Magically Disappearing No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

Description

Featuring peanut butter and sweetened with dates, these no-bake cookies are the perfect whole-ingredient substitute for OG peanut butter cookies. Plus, they taste better. 😉 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter 
  • 1/2 cup whey protein isolate 
  • 1/4 cup almond flour 
  • 10 dates, pitted and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flax seed 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla 
  • 1–2 drops almond extract

Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients into a medium bowl. If the dough is extra sticky, add more almond flour. If the dough is extra dry, add some more peanut butter. 
  2. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper and roll out to 1/8-inch thick. 
  3. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Since the dough can be crumbly, use a thin spatula to lift the cookies up off of the parchment. 
  4. That’s it! You can decorate the cookies simply with a dusting of powdered sugar or Demerara sugar.
  5. Or, you could dip half of the cookies in melted dark chocolate.
  6. OR, add a layer of jam to one cookie, cut a window out of the middle of another cookie, put them together like a sandwich, and there you have it: a PB&J linzer cookie. 

Notes

If you don’t want to use whey protein powder, you could use more almond flour or some powdered milk.
