How to Make Peanut Butter Crunch Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (about 300°F) and line a tray with baking paper.
2. In a bowl, mix together the almond meal, peanut butter, maple syrup, and melted coconut oil until fully combined.
3. Fold in your crunchy cereal puffs. This is where that epic crunch comes from!
4. Use a spoon or your hands to roll into small balls and place them on your baking tray. Flatten them a little if you like thinner cookies.
5. Bake for 12 minutes. They’ll be soft when you take them out, but don’t worry!
6. Let them cool completely on the tray. They’ll firm up as they cool. (Patience is hard, I know.)

Pro Tips for Crunchy Cookie Perfection

• Don’t overbake! They firm up as they cool. If you wait for them to look golden, they’ll be too dry.
• These cookies store best in an airtight container at room temp for up to 4 days (if they last that long).
• Want to make them vegan-friendly cookies? They already are!
• Use natural peanut butter for a cleaner flavor and no added sugar.

Wash your cookie down with a cozy cup of monkfruit hot chocolate — it’s sugar-free, rich, and so comforting, especially on cooler days.
