Chocolate Chip Cookies with a hint of Peanut Butter
1 + 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup organic sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1.5 tbsp chunky peanut butter
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tbsp cacao nibs (optional, but they add crunch!)
2 tbsp non-dairy dark chocolate chips
3.5 tbsp canola oil
Turbinado Sugar, for garnish (optional)
Directions: Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray. In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder). In a small bowl mix all wet ingredients (peanut butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup). Mix well making sure the PB is thoroughly mixed in. Now add wet to dry and stir. Stir in cacao nibs and chocolate chips. Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough and form the dough into a flat patty/cookie shape. These cookies will not spread out, they will bake as whatever shape you place them on the cookie sheet as. Bake for just 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack after a couple minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Makes about 14-15 medium sized cookies.
