1 cup all-natural peanut butter
1 cup coconut sugar
1 egg
Dark chocolate chunks
Sea salt (for finishing)
In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut sugar, and egg. Once the egg is fully incorporated, switch to a rubber spatula and mix until smooth.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
Scoop spoonfuls of the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Use a fork to gently flatten each cookie and create a crisscross pattern. This helps the cookies cook evenly since peanut butter dough is dense.
Add extra chocolate chunks on top of each cookie if desired.
Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes to firm up before serving. Enjoy!
