Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 Tablespoon milk (can use milk of choice)
- ⅔ cup almond flour
- 3 Tablespoons Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ cup melted chocolate, for decorating
- 12 peanut butter cups, for decorating
- 24 candy eyes, for decorating
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener, baking soda and salt together.
- Add in the peanut butter and milk, fold together until well combined.
- Using two tablespoons of dough per cookie, place the cookies on the prepared pan. Gently press down a peanut butter cup in the center of each cookie to create a little well in the center. Remove the peanut cups until after baking.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While still warm, add the peanut butter cups into the center of each cookie. Cool completely.
- Once cooled, use the melted chocolate to pipe 4 'legs' on each side of the peanut butter cup. Adhere the candy eyes with a bit more chocolate.
- Serve and enjoy!
