Peanut Butter/Carob Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups smooth peanut butter (or other nut butter)
• 1 1/3 cups maple syrup
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3 to 3 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 cup dairy-free carob chips

Directions:

Cream together the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and carob chips. Slowly add the flour until mixture becomes a soft dough. Do not knead, or dough will become crumbly.

Roll into 1 inch balls. Place on a cookie sheet, and then press down with a greased fork, making a criss-cross pattern. (I dip the fork into ground fructose in between each cookie)

Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. Let cool before removing from pan.
