Flourless Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies are not diet food, but they should be…
Seen these flourless cookies on ABC news and while they may not be weight loss food, they are made without flour… With the sugar they’re not exactly low-carb either, but a step in the right direction. Either way, in moderation, they are a great treat!
Try using a natural peanut butter that has no added sugar. This can help shave off a few calories, but still leave the protein. Probably the easiest flourless cookies to make ever, these are great for whipping up in a hurry…
Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, as seen on ABC News:
Servings: 24 cookies
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (try a variety with no added sugar)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Position two racks in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.
3. Divide dough into 24 portions (about a Tbs. each) and form into smooth balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart (about 12 cookies per sheet). Using a fork, press the tops of dough balls in two directions to form a criss-cross.
4. Bake the cookies. Rotate the sheets between oven racks and turn them back to front halfway through baking. When done, cookies will be puffed and lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow your flourless cookies to cool.
