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.
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.
I have 0 resolutions for this year. As long as everyone is healthy, that’s all I’m hoping for!
This recipe comes from one of my favorite blogs, Averie Cooks. Enjoy!
Thick and Soft Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
- Cream together the peanut butter and brown sugar. Mix in the egg and vanilla.
- Gradually stir in the cocoa powder and baking soda. The dough will be a little crumbly, but should hold when pushed together.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least two hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat.
- 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.
