To make the cookies, place the room temperature butter (or vegan butter) and coconut sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and cream until light and fluffy, approx. 8 minutes.
Add 30g maca powder and egg (or 1 tbsp egg replacer mixed with 2 tbsp water) and mix to combine. 5 Add the vanilla extract, 150g peanut butter and mix again.
Add in the wholemeal flour, oats baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and ¼ tsp salt to form a dough.
Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls, weighing approx. 33g each and arrange on the baking trays.
Press the balls flat using the base of a glass or cup.
Bake for 12 minutes in the oven.
Allow to cool on the trays for a couple minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the filling, mix the remaining peanut butter, 2 tbsp maca powder and remaining salt together until smooth.
To assemble the cookies, spread a small amount of the peanut butter onto half the cookies and top with a small spoonful of jam. Sandwich together with a second cookie.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
