Sorry to hear that, they have not been dry for me. I wonder if your peanut butter had less fat? That’s the only variable I can think of because almond flour has quite a bit of fat.

I’m sorry you didn’t like the monkfruit sweetener. It doesn’t taste bad to me at all, but if there is one thing I know about sweeteners it’s that different sweeteners taste different to different people. Any sweetener that measures 1:1 like sugar can be used in this recipe.

Many thanks. I’ll try to get the sugar replacement on Amazon. 

I don’t think agave will work as a replacement for granulated sweetener, especially in a recipe like this where it’s part of the bulk of the recipe. Can you order from Amazon there? You can get Lakanto Monkfruit products there and I bet you will love it if you’re trying to avoid sugar.

I’m glad the cookies were okay, but I recommend looking into ordering Monkfruit if you can.

I made these cookies yesterday and used Agave syrup. I don’t know where in Germany to find the sugar substitute your recommended, therefore, I thought Agave should do the job. I followed the recipe to the last bit, but my dough was very runny and gradually added a bit more of almond flour. I ended up using the entire almond flour bag which was 200g (I guess around 2 cups). The dough was more sticky now but still not the consistency shown on your pictures. I used two tbspoon to scoop the dough on a baking tray and baked them as per the recipe. 
They turned out to be I guess softer than yours but they are still delicious. 

Any idea why this happened? Could it be my peanut butter that was slightly more on the oily side or do you think it’s the Agave syrup?

Many thanks,
Selina

Rachel, I tested several variations with both Golden Monkfruit and Classic Monkfruit and did end up reducing the amount of sweetener just a bit. And surprisingly, we preferred the cookies with Classic Monkfruit when we tried both side-by-side. I am making those changes in the recipe. Thanks for letting me know!

Rachel, thanks for telling me and sorry you’re having that issue. I am having that problem with a different recipe, and will test these again and see what I think. Not sure if the Golden Monkfruit is less sweet but I think it might be.
