Ingredients to make these homemade peanut butter cookies
- Sugar – I use raw organic cane sugar. Of course you can use white sugar or 1/2 regular sugar and 1/2 brown sugar.
- Olive oil or softened butter – I use olive oil, but softened butter or softened coconut oil will work just fine.
- Eggs
- Vanilla Extract
- Creamy Peanut Butter – I use a natural peanut butter, but you could substitute with crunchy peanut butter or almond butter if there is an allergy.
- Einkorn Flour – I use fresh milled but you can use Einkorn all purpose flour, as well.
