Notes
Net carbs: 1.4g per cookie. Makes 16 cookies.
Cookie weight: 20 grams, diameter: 5 cm.
***For super fine almond flour reduce the amount to ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoon as it absorbs more moisture.
For cookies with a soft centre, bake 8-10 minutes. For crunchy cookies, bake up to 12 minutes.
Make sure the peanut butter is soft and runny and contains plenty of oils. Old, hard peanut butter is not suitable for this recipe.
