SCD Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons Knox or Now Foods gelatin (no substitutes)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup peanut butter (Whole Foods Organic Creamy is unsweetened + natural)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 egg (large is fine, not jumbo size)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon melted butter or ghee (omit for dairy-free)

Instructions

FOR KETO VERSION

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line baking sheet with natural parchment paper, set aside.
  3. Open your natural peanut butter- the oil will be settled at the top, make sure to blend it into the peanut butter evenly so it’s no longer separated. Set jar aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, granular Swerve, coconut flour, gelatin and baking soda.
  5. Add your peanut butter, melted butter, coconut milk, vanilla extract and egg. Mix together by hand–it will be loose at first but will start to form into dough in about 25-30 seconds of mixing. Scrape dough from hands and wash + dry hands.
  6. Form dough into a ball. Separate dough into 12 balls. Flatten each round into a cookie shape with your hands and place on parchment paper. You want them to be pretty flat at this point as they will rise just a bit. You can use a clean fork to score them if desired and tidy up the edges. Sprinkle the tops with a touch of additional Granular Swerve.
  7. Place into preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Make sure to turn the cookie sheet 180 degrees at the 6 minute mark so they bake evenly.
  8. Your cookies will be very soft and a bit golden coming out of the oven, they will firm up just right during the cooling process. Allow them to cool on the cookie sheet untouched for 10 minutes, then use a spatula to carefully move them to a cooling rack. Allow then to cool on the rack for an additional 15-20 minutes. (Can’t wait? If freezer space allows, place the sheet inside to cool for a quick 10 minutes).
  9. While cookies are cooling, melt your Lily’s chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 2 minute intervals, stirring each time. Add 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil, and stir until smooth.
  10. Dip cookies into chocolate and set them back on the cooled parchment lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a tiny but of sea salt. Place the cookie tray in the fridge for about ten minutes (or freezer for 5 minutes)  for the chocolate to set.
  11. Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain texture.
