I love playing in the kitchen.
In my mind I imagine that I have a wand that I use to do magic.
Each time the magic will turn a few simple ingredients into a whole universe.
And as simply as that these cookies were born.
I pictured them in my mind and in one minute of understanding they were born.
Dividing the dough into two and the combination of flavors and colors had turned them into a huge magic.
And then I realized,
I have marvelous cookies,
They’re beautiful,
Exciting,
And making them is so much fun,
But,
And it’s a big but, I can’t find a name for them.
Because they’re not exactly chocolate-vanilla cookies.
And they have a texture and taste that are different from what many of you have met before.
They’re magical,
They’re different than anything you would imagine,
They’re beautiful and exciting,
They’re tasty and indulging,
They’re one of a kind,
They remind me of yin and yang,
They showed me a whole.
They gave me huge happiness,
And eventually I decided to go for simplicity,
Because sometimes keeping things simple is the hardest thing to do.
And in simplicity lies all the magic.
So I picked a “Simple” name for them in which lies a texture experience filled with tastes and one that’s covered in beauty.
“Two-Tone Cookies”,
That is their name.
They are made out of four main ingredients and one big and pure happiness.
The most quick, easy, satisfying and exciting recipe you’d meet 🙂
Healthy days to us all, filled with simplicity and great joy 🙂

Two-Tone Cookies
Ingredients:
- ½ cup peanut butter (For alternatives, have a look at “A little extra From Me”)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup almond flour
- Pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1½ tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 cup maple syrup
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C) on turbo mode, and line a standard baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl put peanut butter, maple syrup, salt, almond flour and baking powder and mix well until forming a sticky dough. Split the dough into two equal parts. To the first part add cocoa and maple and create chocolate dough that’s flexible and convenient to work with. From the second part create a ball of dough that’s flexible and convenient to work with. Kindly note that if the dough turns out too sticky add 2-3 tablespoons of flour, if the doubt turns out a little dry and crumbly add 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter.
- Move on to making the cookies: Create small and equal rounds from both parts of dough – none cocoa, and the chocolate dough. Attach a round of chocolate dough and a round of non cocoa dough, roll the two rounds using our hands into a small ball built out of the two colors, and squash the ball a little to make the division of colors visible.
- Place the cookies on the baking pan, put in the oven and bake for between 7-10 minutes. Kindly note- The oven’s heating system may differ from one another and it’s important to watch the cookies carefully while baking them. They don’t get very tanned, they mainly rise and crack a little.
Take them out of the oven, cool a little before serving and gobble together 🙂
A little extra from me:
- Can be kept in a sealed box on the counter to keep the texture.
- Keep in mind that this recipe is the best version after many and varied attempts.
- Peanut butter can be substituted for tahini / hazelnut butter / cashew butter or any other nut butter you choose – the best version is the one containing almond butter.
- Almond flour can be substituted for 1 cup of oat flour – the best version is the one containing almond flour.
- Of course you can make one-tone cookies and not combine the two parts in one cookie. If you choose to make only chocolate cookies out of the whole mixture, add in total about 3 tablespoons of cocoa and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into the dough mixture.
