Author: Amanda Paa
Yield: 12 cookies
Prep Time :10 minutes
Cook Time :20 minutes
Total Time :30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon firmly packed dark brown sugar do not skip on the amount! this is already a low amount of sugar, and i've tried with less and they don't taste right. note: light brown sugar works, but cookies won’t be as brown.
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch or cornstarch, or regular all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt + extra flaky salt for sprinkling on top
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup finely crushed Corn or Rice Chex or similar cereal
  • 2 tablespoons cacao nibs if you don’t have these, add 2 more tablespoons of chopped nuts

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add peanut butter, brown sugar, and egg to a large glass mixing bowl and mix for 1 1/2 minutes on medium speed (I use a hand mixer).
  • Add vanilla extract, starch/flour, baking soda and salt, mix on low for 30 seconds. Stir in remaining ingredients.
  • Using hands or a cookie scoop, make heaping 1-inch dough balls and place on parchment paper. Press down lightly and bake for 5 minutes, then open oven and lightly press cookies down with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake for another 4-5 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Remove and let cool on baking sheet for 4-5 minutes, then set on cooling rack.
