Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4–2 cups almond flour (see note for alternative)
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 cup mini salted pretzels, broken (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/3 cup salted peanuts, roughly chopped (optional)

For Serving:

  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling (if desired)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the butter: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the butter for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
  3. Mix the ingredients: To the browned butter, add maple syrup, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Fold in the dry ingredients, chocolate, pretzels, and peanuts. Let the dough rest.
  4. Shape and bake: Roll the dough into balls, place on the baking sheet, top with pretzel pieces, and flatten slightly. Bake for about 11 minutes until edges are set.
  5. Cool and store: Cool the cookies on the sheet, sprinkle with sea salt, and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • If desired, you can use 2 cups of all-purpose flour instead of almond flour for a slightly different texture.
