- 1/2 cup almond flour

- 1/2 cup + 3 tbsp peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- in a large bowl, mix together your almond flour, cacao powder, salt and baking soda, before adding in your peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract and combine.
- finally add in the egg and mix until well combined.
- i recommend freezing the dough for a couple of hours or overnight so it's easier to manipulate. once's it frozen, use a tablespoon, divide into cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- flatten each cookie with a fork, creating imprints diagonally both ways - you may want to wet the fork slightly if you find it's sticking to the cookie.
- bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 for 12 minutes. these cookies are good fresh or frozen, they freeze very well!
