Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are super easy and have only four ingredients! These easy cookies are naturally gluten and dairy-free and so tasty! No need to let the dough chill!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter ( I used natural unsalted peanut butter)
- 1 cup sugar (I used coconut sugar)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips (to add to top of cookies prior to baking)
Instructions
-
Gather and measure ingredients. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
-
Mix all the ingredients except chocolate chips in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
-
Gently add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
-
Add scoops of the cookie batter to a parchment-lined baking pan. Roll batter into a ball with your hand and then shape into a cookie shape. The cookies spread a little so space the cookies 2 inches apart.
-
Add a few more chocolate chips to the tops of each cookie.
-
Bake for 10 minutes until the sides start to turn golden.
-
Remove from oven and let cookies cool a bit on the baking pan (about 5-10 minutes).
-
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let cookies cool completely.
-
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Cookies can be frozen for up to a few months.
Recipe Notes
Tips and Techniques:
- Do not overbake. Take the cookies out of the oven when the edges are starting to turn golden brown.
- Make the cookies a nice size (use 1 - 2 tablespoons dough).
- Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract if you like that flavor.
- Substitute almond flour for the peanut butter if you wish.
