Peanut-Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Peanut-Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies bring together mashed bananas and peanut butter to create a naturally sweet and moist dough. The use of gluten-free chocolate chip protein pancake mix along with quick-cooking oats adds a slight chewiness and structure to the cookies. The wet and sticky batter is portioned by heaping tablespoons onto a lined cookie sheet and baked at 350°F until the tops are just set, about 8-9 minutes. Cooling on the pan before transferring to a rack maintains their shape and texture.
The flavor is subtly sweet with the peanut butter complementing the chocolate chips, while the mashed banana adds moisture and mild fruitiness. These cookies offer a softer bite rather than a crunchy cookie experience. They can be enjoyed as a snack or a dessert.
Since the dough is wet and sticky, handling with a spoon or cookie scoop helps portion the cookies neatly. Allowing them to cool completely will ensure they hold together well.
