Peanut butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are in my top 5 all-time favorites!  They are soo good and I like to call them guilt free cause they have no flour and no butter : )  I hope you enjoy as much as me and my husband do! 

PS try not to eat the entire batch in one afternoon! ; )

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Makes about 2 dozen cookies

What you’ll need:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp baking soda

½ cup milk chocolate chips

What you’ll do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips.  When blended, mix in the chocolate chips.  Using your fingers, form 1 1/2 inch balls and flatten into a pancake shape and place on an un-greased cookie sheet.  Bake for 9 minutes.  Let the cookies sit on the cookies sheet for about 30 seconds to 1 minute before letting cool on a wire rack.

What is the calorie count for one cookie?

@Jenna

1 cup Peanut Butter = 1538 Calories
1 cup Brown Sugar = 766 Calories
1 large egg = 86 Calories
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips = 440 Calories

So 24 cookies would be 117 calories per cookie.

I love how simple these cookies are! I wonder if I'll make it past the dough stage...

[Nancy Pepin]

I had to try these because I couldn't believe so few ingredients would turn into cookies. They did and they were so good and so easy, I'll make them a lot.

Hi, I hope this isn't a "stupid" question (I don't bake often) but can I sub dark brown for light brown sugar for these cookies?

Thanks!

[Leslie Sarna]

Lorie, There are no stupid questions! Yes you could sub it out. It is just a little richer with the dark brown.

I just made these and while they taste pretty good, I think they cookies are very fragile, they crumble at my fingertips even after letting them set for at least 10 minutes. My husband said the PB taste is a little overpowering. I did wonder at first how it didn't call for flour. That said, not my favorite cookie recipe but definitely not bad either.

I wanted to update you that husband ended up taking all the cookies to work because it was not much his cup of tea. But they were a huge hit! I know his coworkers and they were all raving about how great they were! Thanks for making me a star baker =D

[Leslie Sarna]

Oh, Michelle, I'm glad to hear that! I know these cookies can be fragile, but if you make them again, try a different brand of peanut butter, they all have slightly different consistencies.
