Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies: A Dreamy Gluten-Free Treat

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) creamy peanut butter (not natural)

½ cup packed light brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)

Optional:

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
(Optional) Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with flaky sea salt for a sweet and salty contrast.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centres are still slightly soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

For chewier cookies, bake for 10 minutes. For crispier cookies, bake for 12 minutes.
If your peanut butter is very dry, you can add a tablespoon or two of milk to the batter to achieve the right consistency.
Make sure your oven is preheated before baking for optimal results.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.
