Easiest, Yummiest Cookies EVER! (and they're GF!)

These are the yummiest cookies and the best part is that they're so easy. I LOVE that they are inherently allergy-friendly (well, supposing your allergies are not to peanut butter or eggs...) so they are a great go-to for us. I love that I don't have to mess with measuring and figuring out gluten free flours because they do not contain any flour...yet you'd never know! Give these a try...you won't regret it! I won't tell anyone if you eat seven in one day...

1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup sucanat or coconut sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
handful of chocolate chips, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir until mixed. Toss in chocolate chips and stir to combine. Drop by small spoonfuls onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper and bake for 9 minutes.

*Each time I've made these, I have had to add a few splashes of water to the mix in order to get it to be wet enough - I think it is because my peanut butter is on the drier side. If your mixture is crumbly, feel free to add a little water until it's moist and they will still turn out great!

  1. I am excited to try these! My peanut butter cookies always end up spreading out instead of staying thick and chewy. Yours look delicious!

  4. These look yummy! I've never heard of coconut sugar though. This might be something good to make for when I have a sweet tooth. ;)

  5. My brain says this recipe is impossible. Don't worry, my brain is OFTEN wrong. Cookies with no flour? I'm so going to have to try this... :)
