Easy and Delicious Nut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Makes 10 cookies, 5 cookie sandwiches

While I love adding some nut butter for texture to my cookies usually, the nut butter is the star of the show in these - not to mention the oozing nut butter inside! You can customise these cookies on what your taste preference is, I opted for hemp butter which has hazelnuts inside! You can totally skip the sandwich element of it and just make the cookies - they are delicious by themselves!

Ingredients

1/3 C smooth nut butter (I did PB)

1/4 C maple syrup 

3/4 C almond flour 

1 Tbsp tapioca flour (can either sub with cornstarch or with an extra tbsp of almond flour)

1/2 tsp baking powder 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

Pinch of salt (if nut butter isn’t salted) 

Method

In a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients. Mix everything till smooth in and well combined. Scoop the mixture using a tbsp or medium cookie scoop, then roll into 10 small balls. Place these balls on a lined tray, slightly apart.

Flatten each cookie with a fork, and bake 8-10 min at 180 C or until golden. Let cool before removing from the tray so the cookies can properly crisp up.

Sandwich with a tsp of nut butter (I recommend something like smooth almond or peanut butter) of your choice and you have yourself the most scrumptious cookie ever. Store airtight in a container or store in the freezer. These are best eaten fresh.
