INGREDIENTS

• 170g almond flour
• 170g white flour
• 2 eggs
• 150g salted butter
• 4 Nuvia Sweetener sticks
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• Peanut butter version
• 170g almond flour
• 170g white flour
• 2 eggs
• 150g salted butter
• 75g peanut butter
• 4 Nuvia Sweetener sticks
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 90g dark chocolate chips

METHOD

• 1. Preheat oven to 180 C
• 2. Combine all ingredients apart from the chocolate and peanut butter if using.
• 3. Stir through the chocolate. Very lightly mix through the peanut butter if using at this point so it remains slightly visible. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
• 4. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment and form the dough into 10 even sized balls for large cookies, or 20 for mini ones. Spread out on the trays leaving at least a 3cm gap between cookies. If you want a doughy center ensure they are about 1.5cm thick.
• 5. Bake for around 15 - 20 minutes for large cookies or 10 – 15 minutes for smaller ones. They are soft when straight out of the oven but firm up as they cool.
• 6. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
