December’s Healthy Recipe: Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Natural Peanut Butter
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1 Large egg, lightly beaten
• Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.
• In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and egg until well combined.  Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1  inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies.  Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.
• Bake until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the sheets halfway through baking.  Transfer to racks to cool.  Repeat with the remaining dough.
