I found a couple of "peanut butter" cookies recipes and no, peanut butter is not Paleo but these look like super alternatives.
Anyone else have good cookie recipes you have tried?

Where does Palm sugar come from?
As the name implies, palm sugar comes from palm trees. While this type of sugar was originally made from the Palmyra palm – also known as the date palm or sugar date palm – it is now made from the nipa palm and the Arenga pinnata (sugar palm) as well. This type of sugar is made from sap collected by making slits in the stem of the palm tree. The collected sap is then boiled until it is thickened. A similar product can also be made from coconut palms and is generally referred to as coconut palm sugar. The difference is that coconut palm sugar is derived from the flower buds of the coconut palm whereas traditional palm sugar is collected from the tree itself.

This is a wonderful nut cookie recipe base - experiment with different nut butters and Paleo-friendly add-ins, like chocolate chips from Navitas Naturals Cacao Nibs, coconut shreds, chopped nuts, etc.
Ingredients
1 cup natural almond butter
3/4 cup coconut palm sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Coarse sea salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper or use a Silpat mat.
In a medium bowl, mix all the ingredients except the coarse sea salt, until well combined.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture about 1 inch apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
Flatten the mounds with a fork and make a crosshatch (or other) pattern on the cookies.
Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.
Bake about 10 minutes or until golden around edges, switching the position of the pans halfway thorough baking.
Transfer freshly-baked cookies to a cooling rack and let rest.
