My last few recipe posts have been decently healthy recipes. This one…not so much. But that’s okay, because it’s nice to have a dessert here and there! And if you’re someone who avoids eating gluten, this is a cookie for you, because it’s flourless!!
I was bored after work the other night and was craving something sweet, so I looked at what I had in my kitchen, and whipped these up. They are so delicious (about 6 other people who tried them agreed), I just had to share them with you!
Minus the semi-sweet chocolate chips
Ingredients:
½ cup natural peanut butter
½ cup sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 whole egg
2 tbsp mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sea salt
Directions:
Step 1: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Step 2: Combine sugar, vanilla extract, and egg and mix
Step 3: Add peanut butter and mix until smooth
Step 4: Add in mini chocolate chips and stir until they are evenly distributed into batter (if you don’t want any chocolate in your cookies, that’s ok! Just leave this step out!)
Step 5: Spoon out batter onto ungreased cookie sheet (I did spoonfuls about the size of a ping pong ball) about 1.5 inches apart and press fork into balls to make the crosshatch design
Step 6: Sprinkle sea salt on the top of each cookie
Step 7: Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes on center rack
Step 8: Remove from oven and let cool before removing cookies from cookie sheet
Step 9: Enjoy!
This recipe yields 1 dozen cookies.
I like eating mine while they are still a bit warm, and I’m sure they would taste great with vanilla ice cream!
Try them! You will be addicted!
