Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies
These gluten-free peanut butter chocolate cookies are so gooey, delicious, and super simple. I have been making them on repeat this summer and they sure don't last long in our house! These grain-free cookies are also refined sugar-free and only use 1 egg.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Peanut Butter or Almond Butter Opt for an organic one without added ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Sugar
- 1 Egg - Beaten
- 3/4 tsp Vanilla
- Pinch of Sea Salt
- 1/3 Cup Dark Chocolate Chunks - Finely Chopped I love using Hu Kitchen Dark Chocolate Gems
- Coconut Oil for greasing your cookie sheet and greasing your hands for shaping the cookies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ and preheat your baking sheet if using cast iron.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and coconut sugar until it is thoroughly combined.
- Add in the egg, vanilla, and pinch of salt, stir until the ingredients are well combined.
- Stir in your finely chopped dark chocolate chunks.
- Grease your cookie sheet with coconut oil.
- Coat your hands with coconut oil and begin to shape the dough into 12 balls. Place the balls evenly spaced out on your cookie sheet.
- Use a fork to gently press down and create a criss cross pattern on each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes and then remove from the oven.
- As tempting as it may be I recommend allowing the cookies 10-15 minutes to set up before removing them from the baking sheet and indulging.
