Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: ghee (or butter), peanut butter, maple syrup, yolk, and vanilla until smooth.

Step 3

In a smaller bowl, mix the dry ingredients.

Step 4

Add the dry mix into the wet ingredients bowl and stir until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the chocolate, if using.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Divide the dough into five equal-sized cookies and place them onto the baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.

Step 9

Cookies are best once cooled completely (they hold together the best, too!).
