Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe uses no flour, instead relying on the peanut butter for structure along with egg and baking soda. Brown sugar sweetens the dough along with vanilla extract, while cocoa powder adds chocolate depth. Chocolate and peanut butter chips folded into the dough create pockets of melted sweetness in every bite.
The dough is scooped onto an ungreased baking sheet and baked at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Slightly flattening the dough balls before baking encourages even spreading and a balance of crisp edges and soft centers. Cooling briefly on the pan helps the cookies set before transferring to a wire rack.
These cookies are enjoyable fresh from the oven and develop a softer texture when stored. They are easy to prepare with pantry staples and offer a rich, peanut chocolate flavor combination for casual snacking or dessert.
Store baked cookies loosely covered with foil to preserve texture; avoid plastic containers that can make them overly soft.Cookies taste best shortly after baking but remain enjoyable over time with proper storage.
