Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Add the peanut butter and maple syrup to a bowl and mix slightly until the maple syrup is incorporated.
Add in the almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and mix. As you stir, you will notice that the mixture will be crumbly in texture at first but then begin to harden and become more dough-like. Keep mixing (using your hands as needed) until a dough forms. You will know you have mixed it enough once there is no more mixture stuck to the sides of the bowl.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions, roll them into a ball and place the balls on a parchment paper-lined pan. Use a fork to flatten the cookies and make a criss-cross pattern on top.
Bake the cookies at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely before serving. They may seem soft at first but will harden once they cool.
If you are dipping the cookies in chocolate, wait until they are completely cool before dipping. Serve once the chocolate fully hardens.

Make sure to use only a natural peanut butter that doesn’t contain any ingredients besides peanuts (or peanuts and salt). My favorite brand of peanut butter to use is the Kirkland brand organic creamy peanut butter.

Make sure to flatten and shape the cookies beforehand because they will not change shape while baking. If you notice that the fork is sticking to the dough, dip the fork in water each time so that it does not stick to the cookies.

These cookies have a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Make sure to let them cool completely before serving because they can break apart easily.
