Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Add the almond flour, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract (if using) and salt (if using) to a mixing bowl. Mix until smooth.

Step 3

Scoop 1-2 tablespoon sized balls of dough and roll into a ball. Place on the baking sheet.

Step 4

Press down on each cookie with a fork to create a hatch pattern (dip the fork in water if it is sticking to the dough).

Step 5

Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool fully. They will seem soft when you take them out but they will firm up as they cool.
