Month 12 day 11: Flourless peanut butter chocolate cookies

Today I made:
Peanut butter and chocolate cookies, Every Day with Rachael Ray October 2011

(Sorry, no picture!)

For book club tonight I looked through the archives (my large, accordion file folder in which I've been storing all the extra delicious-looking recipes at the end of each month). One of the members is gluten-free, so I was excited to find this flourless cookie recipe. It's super simple:
  • cup peanut butter
  • cup brown sugar
  • large egg
  • teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
    • Beat first four ingredients. Stir in chocolate. Bake at 350 F for 10 min.


This is one of those recipes you could just always remember, like crepes are for my dad.

Even though there is no flour, these end up being a pretty normal cookie dough texture. After baking, they're a bit crumbly, but otherwise just seem like completely normal cookies. It's kind of magic! They get nicely puffy because of the baking soda (I guess) and have a good texture. We don't eat peanut butter that often, so it's actually not a staple for me that's always around. But if it is something you have on hand, then this is a great recipe to have in your back pocket for when you want a treat with minimal fuss or time.
