These peanut butter cookies are rich and nutty, with a delightful twist. The addition of Red Star® Nutritional Yeast gives these cookies a subtle cheesy and salty flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the peanut butter. Perfect for any occasion!
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, sugar, egg, baking powder, vanilla, and Nutritional Yeast with a fork until you have a smooth, homogeneous dough.
3. Scoop small spoonfuls of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the baking sheets, spacing them about 3 cm (1 inch) apart. Flatten them slightly with a fork and sprinkle with a little sea salt (optional).
4. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Let them cool completely on the baking sheets.
Tip: These cookies will keep for up to one week in an airtight container.
