These rich, decadent, satisfying cookies come from a shockingly simple recipe. It's hard to imagine that so few ingredients can create such perfection in a cookie; so if you like peanut butter, chocolate, and are looking for a flour-free treat, then this Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies recipe is a must-try!
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Beat the peanut butter, sugar, baking soda, and salt at medium speed of your mixer, until well-blended.
Add the egg and vanilla, and blend on low-medium speed until incorporated.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Scoop the dough by the tablespoonful onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (a tablespoon cookie scoop is best for this job) and push the top of the dough to flatten just slightly.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and cool right on the pan. The tops should be slightly crinkled and you will want to pull them before they begin to brown on the edges.
Serve the Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies slightly warm or at room temperature. Store the cooled cookies, well-wrapped, at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.
This recipe doesn't work as well with natural peanut butter as with standard store-bought. The result, when tested, was a drier, more crumbly cookie.
