Gluten and dairy free (not that anyone would know it!) these cookies whip together in a flash and disappear just as quickly. Just what anyone would need to perk up their Wednesday!
adapted from a recipe found in Real Simple
1 cup peanut butter (we use Jiff**)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1 handful chocolate chips (we used Trader Joe's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks)
In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients and using a wooden spoon, stir well to combine.
Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto your prepared baking sheets (place about 2 inches apart and do not flatten). Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed, golden and a little cracked on top. Remove from the oven and allow to firm up on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes. I dare you not to eat one!! ;)
Remove from baking sheet and place on a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!
**Liv Life Note: We've made these both with natural peanut butter (I used Trader Joe's brand) and with Jiff cream and with Jiff crunchy peanut butters. While all were a delight to eat, those made with Jiff had a more "cookie-like" texture.
