Flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies

This is the first recipe that I have ever made without flour. I have to say that it was nice to have all of these ingredients on hand and that these cookies are naturally gluten-free. I brought these to a family picnic as well. They were a hit!

Recipe

Ingredients

1 c. creamy peanut butter 3/4 c. sugar 1 large egg 3/4 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla 1/4 c. mini chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Directions

My Review

These cookies are quite tasty, but I do have to say that due to peanut butter in them they did get a bit greasy as the days went on. If you're planning on eating just a few, I would recommend freezing the rest until you need them. Happy baking, friends!
