Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c almond flour
1/2 c soy flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp mexican vanilla or use regular vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 c splenda or zero calorie sweetener
1 c creamy peanut butter
1 c softened butter, (2 sticks)
3/4 c lightly salted chopped peanuts

Steps:

1. These are the main flours for this recipe. Use room temperature ingredients for better results. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine both flours with the salt, baking soda, & baking powder, & chopped peanuts in a medium size bowl, then whisk together to blend ingredients.
3. In a larger bowl add the softened butter, eggs, peanut butter, zero calorie sweetener and vanilla.
4. Beat until batter is creamy and smooth. You can drop by teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet, but I prefer to chill the batter at least 1/2 hour to 45 minutes or longer to firm up the dough.
5. Once dough is chilled, pull off enough dough and shape into a round ball about the size of 2 teaspoons. Place on greased cookie sheet, and press lightly with fork tines.NOTE: I PREFER TO USE AIR BAKE COOKIE SHEET PANS. Then Bake in preheated 350 F. degree oven for 12 minutes, or until lightly browned around the edges.
6. Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as desired. They are so delicious and tasty.
