The Best Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe. Ever.

I am surprised I even had any batter left to make these cookies...I couldn't stop eating it raw. Maple syrup + peanut butter? Thanks Heidi for my new favorite cookie recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2  teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1/2 cup peanut or almond butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. in a separate larger bowl combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, olive oil, and vanilla. Stir until combined. Pour the flour mixture over the peanut butter mixture and stir until barely combined. Let sit for five minutes, give one more quick stir, just a stroke or two. Now drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets.

Press down on each one gently with the back of a fork. Bake for 10 minutes (don't over bake or they will be dry). Let cool five minutes and transfer to a cooling rack.

Makes a dozen cookies.
