When I ponder on my favourite childhood memories, the aroma of freshly baked peanut butter cookies inevitably wafts into my mind. My mom’s kitchen was the epicentre of these delectable memories, with me eagerly waiting to “help,” which usually translated to sneaking in a bite of raw dough!
However, as time has whisked by, I’ve come to value not just the taste but also the health quotient of what I eat. That’s what led me to reimagine this timeless classic. By retaining the soul of the original and infusing it with healthier ingredients, these cookies are both a nod to the past and a tip of the hat to present-day health consciousness.
Using only six ingredients, this recipe epitomizes simplicity in baking. The streamlined process ensures that whether you’re a seasoned baker or just donning the apron for the first time, crafting these cookies will be a breeze. No complicated steps, no long lists of ingredients; just straightforward, fuss-free baking that yields delightful results.
While these cookies tantalize your taste buds, they also bring a bounty of nutritional benefits. The inclusion of hemp seeds is a game-changer. Not only do they introduce a unique, nutty texture to the cookies, but they also infuse them with protein. So, while you’re relishing each bite, know that you’re indulging in a snack that’s as good for your body as it is for your soul.
Have you ever felt that mid-morning slump and needed a quick pick-me-up? Or perhaps that post-workout hunger pang? Maybe even that late-night craving that just won’t quit? Enter these peanut butter cookies. Their versatility ensures they’re the perfect companion for any time of the day. Be it an early morning breakfast treat, a post-exercise refuel, or a midnight indulgence, these cookies rise to the occasion.
Every bite of these cookies is a journey back in time. They evoke memories of simpler moments, perhaps of childhood days spent in the warmth of the kitchen, the aroma of freshly baked treats in the air. These cookies offer more than just flavor; they provide an emotional connection, transporting you to cherished memories and moments of pure joy.
In this fast-paced world, we often overlook the joys of simple things. Baking, for me, is a delightful pause, a means to relish the process as much as the outcome and I am ALWAYS looking for an excuse to get in the kitchen and whip up something delicious and sweet. When the result is as heartwarming and wholesome as these peanut butter cookies, the journey becomes all the more special.

I refrigerated the cookie dough for an hour prior to baking and they were still super moist but easier to prep. I also added crushed roasted peanuts to half the dough so everyone in my family was happy. Great use of hemp seeds! Thxs for the inspo!
love to see you making the recipe your own! Thanks for the review
These are by far the best peanut butter cookies I have ever had! I didn’t think they would be as tasty as a regular peanut butter cookie, but was I wrong!! They ooze with flavour and the pinch of salt is the crowning touch. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Hey Sandra, Thanks for such a raving review! I am so glad you loved these Peanut Butter Cookies!
what if you don’t have any hemp seeds what could you replace that with? I have a huge bag of ground flax ? can’t wait to make these as peanut butter is my favorite too!
Hello Andrea, you could substitute with any other seed you’d like like pumpkin, chia or sunflower, just watch your ratios!
