UPDATE Why We Love This 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
When you’re trying to eat mindfully, cookies can be a really difficult thing to purge from your lifestyle. After all, cookies make us happy. You can’t munch on a carrot stick with the same zeal as you would a soft decadent cookie… Today’s Magic 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are lighter than traditional cookies, yet just as satisfying. Made without without flour of any kind, these dairy-free cookies are also gluten free and grain free for those with specific dietary needs. Magically, the nut butter (any kind you like!), sugar, and eggs bind themselves together to make a wonderful cookie base. Bonus: Using zero flour also means the magic chocolate chip cookies are way lower in carbs than classic cookies. AND 4-ingredient cookies are also:
Super fast and easy to make with pantry staples. Can be squeezed into the oven on two baking sheets (because they don’t spread as they bake.) Require very little clean up. And are a great freezer treat!
4 Ingredients You Need
Nut butter – use any variety like peanut butter (what we’ve used here), almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or cashew butter Coconut palm sugar – basically the sweetness of granulated sugar with the warm flavor of brown sugar, all in one handy bag Eggs – room temperature Dark chocolate chips or chocolate chunks – I use 70% dark chocolate but you can use whatever percentage or even semi-sweet chocolate chips, if you prefer
How to Make Magic Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat the oven and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat everything except the chocolate chips in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the bowl, then gently fold in the chocolate chips into the mixture. Use a cookie dough scooper or two tablespoons to scoop medium size rounds of dough onto the baking sheet. These cookies don’t really spread much, so you need to place them only a couple of inches from each other. Use a fork to gently smush down each ball of dough a bit so they are 1/2-inch thick. This helps them spread out just a touch for that true peanut butter cookie goodness. I like to do the classic crosshatch press, doing a ‘lil squish in two directions. Get the Complete (Printable!) Magic 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Below. Enjoy! Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, until they are just set around the edges. The peanut butter chocolate chip cookies might look a tad underdone in the middle but they’ll continue to firm up after taking them out of the oven. Let the cookies cool for several minutes on the baking sheet. It’s important to cool them completely before taking them off of the sheet, otherwise they will possibly crumble apart.
