As soon as I typed the title to this post I realized what I had done. I just called peanuts Primal! Peanuts are actually a legume (which is like a bean), not a nut, and legumes are not Primal. Oops! But if you're like me, you are Primal, but you still eat peanut butter. I don't eat gobs of it like I used to, but on occasion, it's great! For those of you who are pure Primalists, try making these cookies with almond butter, cashew butter, pecan butter, tahini, the list goes on!
I love this recipe because it has barely 6 ingredients. And it's so easy! You can even let your kids help you make these! I made the ones with MMs specifically for my brother, but his favorite was actually the chocolate/sea salt combination.
Primal Pea(nut) Butter Cookies.
makes 14 cookies
8 oz (1 cup) organic creamy unsalted peanut butter (best is fresh ground or homemade)
4 oz (1/2 cup) organic coconut sugar
4 oz (1/2 cup) blanched almond flour
1 happy pastured egg
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch unrefined sea salt
Optional toppings: various candies, sea salt, dark chocolate, raisins
To make your cookies:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (mine is convection).
2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a electric mixer.
3. Use your hands or a cookie scoop to make balls of the dough. Place peanut butter balls on a silicone lined baking sheet.
4. Bake for 7 minutes, then remove from the oven and make criss-cross design with a fork. This will flatten the cookies. Add toppings if desired.
5. Bake for 5 more minutes or until golden brown and chocolate has melted.
6. Remove from oven and let cool on the sheet. Carefully transfer to a wire rack when cool and place cookies in the fridge to set the chocolate. Enjoy!
Don't forget to share! (It won't be easy :)

I noticed that you used baking soda in your version. I'll have to give that a try!
