Nut Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter cookies are my absolute favorite and I make them several times a year. I always feel bad because my son with a nut allergy is left out, so this time instead of using peanut butter I used his sunflower butter. The cookies still taste great and my son was able to enjoy them too.

Ingredients:

¾ cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup truvia or ½ cup granulated sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg

½ cup nut butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
2. Cream the sugar and butter in stand mixer with a paddle attachment on medium.
3. Add the nut butter, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
4. Whisk the flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. 
5. Gradually fold in the flour mixture.
6. Use a tablespoon cookie scooper to form balls.
7. Place balls 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.
8. Bake 12-14 minutes until cookies are beginning to firm and crack on the top.
9. Immediately remove cookies from baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack,
10. Store in an air-tight container.
11. Enjoy!
