Instructions

Prep your baking sheet(s) with silicone mats or parchment paper and pre-heat your oven to 350 F.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and almond flour. Mix well until a thick, paste like dough forms.
Use a small cookie scoop and space them apart enough to press down with a fork (spray the fork with non-stick cooking oil to prevent sticking).
When all the dough is scooped onto the try, gently press across then again the other direction as seen in the photo.
Bake on the middle rack for 12-15 minutes and in batches if needed.
Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
Make sure they are not warm anymore before dipping to prevent cracking in the chocolate.
To decorate: get your sprinkles or other decorations ready to go.
Prepare the chocolate: measure one cup of chips into the glass measuring jug and microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring as needed until smooth and melted. Melt more chocolate as needed to finish dipping all of them.
Dip one cookie at a time, half way in to the chocolate. Let any excess "drip" off and place back on the baking sheet with the silicone mat or parchment paper.
When all the cookies are dipped, add your decorations before it sets.
Place the tray in the fridge for up to one hour or until fully set and enjoy!
Store in an air-tight container on the counter of a cool room for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to one week.
