Instructions:

  1. Prep the flax egg: Stir together 1 tbsp ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp water in a small bowl. Let sit 5 minutes until gel-like.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, coconut sugar, flax egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  4. Scoop & shape: Roll dough into 1.5-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press a fork crosshatch pattern into each cookie to flatten slightly.
  5. Bake 10–12 minutes until the edges are set (centers may look underdone — they firm up as they cool).
  6. Cool: Let cookies cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring. They are fragile when hot!

Sugar-free? Use a granulated monk fruit sweetener 1:1.
Add-ins: Fold in ¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips before shaping.

Prep ahead: Dough can be made 24 hours in advance and refrigerated; add 1–2 minutes to bake time if baking from cold.
