Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies
Lately I have been obsessed with baking these cookies. So, of course I thought I should share the recipe! I like my recipes simple and delicious. It helps if my preschooler likes it too.
I found this gluten free recipe on the Whole Foods Market website. I was a little skeptical since its “flourless.” But, after baking them, I was sold! The texture is perfect, you would never guess they are gluten and dairy free. Honestly, the hardest part is finding dairy free chocolate chips (and you can omit them from the recipe if you’d like). You probably have everything else in your pantry. As far as gluten and dairy free cookies go, these are the easiest to make.
Ingredients:
1 Large Egg
¾ Cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Cup Creamy Natural Peanut Butter
½ teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract GF
1/3 Cup Chocolate Chips (I like Enjoy Life brand mini chips)
a pinch sea salt
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or liner.
In a mixing bowl: beat egg, sugar, baking soda and vanilla extract. Stir-in the peanut butter and pinch of salt.
Drop the dough by teaspoon (doesn’t need to be exact). Roll into a ball then press lightly with a fork to flatten and make cross-hatch marks.
Bake 10 minutes until lightly set. Let cool a couple of minutes on the sheet before removing to cool on a rack.
