If I had to pick sweet or salty, I’d pick sweet every time. This makes having a great cookie recipe a must. Most gluten free treats I can buy are flavorless and never truly satisfy that sweet need.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I was raised eating homemade cookies, pies, cheesecakes, tortes and candies. I know what delicious tastes like. The $8 box of dried-up gluten free cookies from the store were not cutting it.
So, I make this cookie recipe. It has peanut butter and chocolate and is ooey gooey amazing! The oats and peanut butter fill me up and the maple, vanilla & molasses provide this perfect sweetness that doesn’t give you a sugar rush. I love these and share with my family often.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by making your oat flour. I’ve found it cheaper to make my own. I use my Ninja blender cups to grind my oats to make flour. Add 1 C GF oats to your blender cup. Grind for 10 seconds.
-
Set aside.
To a medium bowl add the following ingredients
-
1/2 C Smucker’s Natural creamy peanut butter
-
1/2 C Klebnow’s maple syrup
-
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon Grandma’s molasses
-
Pinch of Real salt
Mix your dough and whip it well to really incorporate the ingredients.
-
Then add your oat flour. Mix and whip again.
-
Lastly, add 2/3 cups of Enjoy Life chocolate chips and stir.
-
Once everything is combined, you will spread this batter onto a parchment lined cookies sheet. The goal is to make 2 big cookies that are about 1/3 inch thick. Scoop & divide dough into 2 piles on your parchment paper then use a spoon to spread. Not too thick, not too thin.
-
Bake for 10 minutes at 350°
-
Your cookies may not look all the way done after 10 minutes but remove from the oven. They will continue to bake while they cool.
-
These cookies are best about 20 minutes cooled from the oven.
-
Slice however you choose.
-
Try not to eat them all at once!
