PEANUT BUTTER/MACADAMIA BUTTER COOKIES

For these cookies, use natural peanut butter, without hydrogenated oil or added sugar, or macadamia nut butter. The oil in natural peanut butter usually separates and rises to the top of the jar if allowed to sit for any extended period of time. Mix this oil into the peanut butter. Do not pour it out. If you do pour it out, replace it with an equal amount of melted coconut oil. Maintaining the original fat content of the peanut butter produces the best results with this recipe.

½ cup sifted coconut flour
1 cup natural peanut butter
½ cup peanuts/macadamias, coarsely chopped (optional)
