How to make Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven: To 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper.
- Make batter: In a large bowl add peanut butter, both sugars, egg, salt, vanilla and baking soda until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake: Drop by rounded tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets and space them 2 inches apart. Press down each cookie with your hand to flatten slightly. (They tend to puff up a bit if you do not). Bake for 12 minutes or until the cookies look set. They will continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheet.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store: In an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
- Freeze: Leftover baked cookies can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Unbaked cookies can be rolled out and placed on a baking sheet in the freezer until frozen. Transfer to a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat simply allow the cookies to come to room temperature while the oven preheats.
Variations
- Substitute dark chocolate chunks for the semi sweet chocolate chips.
