Happy New Year! Whoops, I let the time slip away from me and have completely forgotten to post! I’ll just blame it on pregnancy brain for now since I have a month left to use that as an excuse.IMG_6445

These cookies have no butter and no flour. I brought these to work and my co-workers ate them up! They loved that they were butter-less and flourless. It’s a healthier cookie that you can make to kick off your New Year Resolutions.

Thick and Soft Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg

  • 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

  1. Cream together the peanut butter and brown sugar. Mix in the egg and vanilla.

  3. Refrigerate the dough for at least two hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat.
  5. Use a cookie scoop and place the balls of dough on baking sheet. Use a fork to gently press down each cookie and create a criss-cross pattern. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Day 11: Cookies ‘n Cream Peanut Butter Cookies

IMG_9540Day 11: Cookies ‘n Cream Peanut Butter Cookies. Whew, that was a long title. That’s because there’s a whole lot in these cookies: peanut butter, Oreos, white chocolate chips, and regular chocolate chips. IMG_9543

These cookies are a little more crumbly than I’d like, but they still taste great. Not all cookies can be as chewy and soft as the ones I love, right? IMG_9551

I guess I have to be fair to all the cookie lovers out there. Everyone favors a different kind of cookie. I’m keeping it versatile on my blog to please all the cookie lovers!
