PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Yield: 3-dozen cookies

¾-cup agave nectar

½-cup canola oil or coconut oil

¼-cup ground flaxseed

1-cup peanut butter

2-teaspoons baking soda

3-cups oat flour*

½-teaspoon salt

optional: add chopped salty peanuts to the top and press in before baking or chocolate chips

In a standing mixing bowl mix together the agave, oil, flaxseed, and peanut butter.

In another bowl whisk together the baking soda, flour, and salt. 

Add the dry to wet and mix until uniform.  

Roll dough into a 3-inch roll. 

Slice into coins.

Place on parchment covered baking sheets.  Make the traditional sign of peanut butter cookies by taking a fork and pressing the tines into the cookie tops. 

Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 11 minutes or until lightly golden.  If coconut oil is used, it increases baking time by 3 to 5 minutes longer. 

* Make the oat flour by blenderizing 3-cups of whole oats into flour.  The flour will be more than 3-cups, but use all of it in this recipe.
