Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies

I. Love. Cookies.

Eating cookies and being on a diet typically do not go very well together so when I found this recipe for flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies I had to try them. These were extremely easy to make and were a huge hit with the kids and hubby (I ate a few myself). I froze half of the batch and they came out of the freezer just as good as when they went in it. I got the recipe from http://www.ireallylikefood.com/764528172/flourless-peanut-butter-and-chocolate-chip-cookies/. I just added 1 tablespoon less of each sugar and used only 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips and they turned out great! The adapted recipe is listed below.





Oven-ready!



Yumm-o!

Flourless Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes: 16 cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup minus 1 Tbsp of white sugar
• 1/2 cup minus 1 Tbsp of loosely packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips, divided

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the peanut butter, sugars, egg, baking soda, and vanilla together in a bowl; mix until well combined. Add most of the chocolate chips then mix. Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes so the dough is easier to handle.

Place spoonfuls of the dough onto the baking sheet then top each cookie with the additional chocolate chips. (I like to use a small ice cream scoop-no mess, no fuss.)

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes then carefully place them onto a cooling rack to cool. Cool completely before eating. If you want to freeze the cookies wait until completely cool then seal in a plastic freezer bag.
