These 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies are soft, chewy, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Ready in about 15 minutes, they are vegan, gluten-free, and perfect for a quick homemade treat.

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup peanut butter (runny)

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt if using. Stir until a smooth, cohesive dough forms.
  3. Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing slightly apart.
  4. Use a fork to gently press each ball into a crisscross pattern. If sticky, lightly dip your hands or fork in water.
  5. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up before serving.

Notes

Chocolate Chip Variation: Fold in a handful of dairy-free chocolate chips before shaping.

Crunchy Texture: Use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth.

Almond Butter Swap: Substitute peanut butter with almond butter for a different nutty flavor.

Cinnamon Spice: Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.

Sea Salt Finish: Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty twist.

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Freezing: Freeze cooled cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months and thaw at room temperature.

If cookies turn out crumbly, ensure the peanut butter is runny and well stirred before measuring.
