    As soon as the Thanksgiving leftovers are put away cookie season begins in my house. I bake cookies at least twice a week between Thanksgiving and Christmas so I can put out platters when we celebrate. We normally end up with too many cookies (if there is such a thing) but there are just so many varieties I want to make.

    There has to be something with chocolate and peanut butter on those cookie trays. Other necessities are something with peppermint, iced sugar cookies, a few nut cookies, and more chocolate cookies.

    You can see how the cookie count starts to add up.

    Part of my problem is I will bake a few batches of cookies and then get invited to a cookie exchange. Which I make new cookies for and come home with even more. Luckily, most types of cookies freeze well.

    I'm happy to share a new dairy free cookie for anyone needing to avoid dairy. It happens to be egg free too. Leaving the egg out of the cookies makes them similar to a shortbread.

    Scroll down for a printable version.

    Cookie Ingredients:

    1 cup peanut powder

    ¼ cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)

    ¼ cup coconut oil, melted

    1 teaspoon gelatin

    Filling Ingredients:

    2 tablespoon coconut cream

    2 tablespoon peanut powder

    2 tablespoon Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)

    Chocolate Topping:

    3.5 oz bar of 85% dark chocolate ***

    2 tablespoon Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)

    1 tablespoon peanut powder

    *** or use sugar free chocolate, such as Lily's, and omit the sweetener

    roll of pre cut peanut butter sandwich cookie dough on a piece of parchment paper set on a cookie sheet with lined cookie dough pieces

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

    Combine cookie ingredients in a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. This dough comes together pretty easily. Divide into 24 pieces. Roll each into a ball and put on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (OR shape the dough into a log and slice 24 pieces but they are more uniform shaped when using the ball method).

    Sprinkle them with a little extra sweetener. Using the bottom of a measuring cup or drinking glass flatten the cookies to ¼ inch thick. They might stick to the bottom but just slide the dough off and put it back on the parchment.

    Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden. Cool completely.

    While the cookies are cooling mix the ingredients for the filling.

    When the cookies are completely cooled flip half upside down and divide the filling between them. Top each with a second cookie. Refrigerate for at least an hour.

    Melt the chocolate and add the sweetener and peanut butter powder. Dip each sandwich cookie in the chocolate. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
    • Combine cookie ingredients in a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. This dough comes together pretty easily. Divide into 24 pieces. Roll each into a ball and put on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (OR shape the dough into a log and slice 24 pieces but they are more uniform shaped when using the ball method).
    • Sprinkle them with a little extra sweetener. Using the bottom of a measuring cup or drinking glass flatten the cookies to ¼ inch thick. They might stick to the bottom but just slide the dough off and put it back on the parchment.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden. Cool completely.
    • While the cookies are cooling mix the ingredients for the filling.
    • When the cookies are completely cooled flip half upside down and divide the filling between them. Top each with a second cookie. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
    • Melt the chocolate and add the sweetener and peanut butter powder. Dip each sandwich cookie in the chocolate. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.

    Notes

    The fat content in peanut flour/peanut powder can vary greatly. If the dough seems too dry add more coconut oil, one tablespoon at a time until it holds together.
    Notes on Sweeteners: 
    I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
    To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 
     
    To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
     
    Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.

      I made these tonight and they are so, so dry and crumbly. I kept checking the recipe to see if I was missing something "wet" to add to the dough. I'm wondering if different peanut flours have different oil content, because 1/4 cup of coconut oil was way too low. I used THM peanut flour and THM Gentle Sweet per the sweetener options.2 stars

        Different peanut flours do have different fat contents. The one I used is closer to peanut flour and not de-fatted. I will add a note to increase the oil for a drier peanut powder.

      Will PB2 work for the peanut butter powder?

        Yes, but be aware PB2 has a little added sugar.

        The gelatin acts as a binder since these don't have eggs. You can use eggs but the cookies will be softer and cakier.

      Is the peanut butter powder in this recipe the THM peanut flour?

        I used a different brand but that one would work 🙂

          What brand of peanut flour do you use?

          January 14, 2018 at 4:17 pm

          I've used a few different ones. "Protein Plus" is one. Any that don't have added sugar are fine.

      What can be a replacement for coconut products? I can't have them.

        If you don't need these to be dairy free you can sub in butter.
