Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I became curious about flourless recipes, so while I was looking up recipes for flourless chocolate cake, I was distracted by these little guys. The recipe is quite simple and while the end result is a little different than your average PB cookie, it's still pretty good. Since these cookies have no flour, they are quite fragile. I ruined a few of them just trying to spatula them from the cookie sheet to the cooling rack. They taste much more peanut buttery than regular PB cookies and they are a bit dense and kind of crumbly...kind of like a mix between a cookie and Biscotti. Here's the recipe:
  • 1 cup peanut butter (I used creamy but the recipe originally called for super chunky)
  • 1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (about 6 ounces)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Mix in chocolate chips. Using moistened hands, form generous 1 tablespoon dough for each cookie into ball. Arrange on 2 ungreased baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.


Bake cookies until puffed, golden on bottom and still soft to touch in center, about 12 minutes. Cool on sheets 5 minutes. Transfer to racks; cool completely.




Here's one of the fallen few:
