Chocolate Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

January 27, 2015

flourless peanut butter cookies

Chocolate Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies with only FIVE ingredients! I think we can all agree that peanut butter + chocolate is one of the best flavor combos ever. Peanut Butter is one of those things that we were never allowed as kids (due to my mom’s allergies) and well, chocolate.. enough said. My love for munching on, baking and cooking with peanut butter has not subsided β€˜till this day. These Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies fit the bill. πŸ˜‰

flourless peanut butter

J doesn’t get my obsession with Peanut Butter. He tried it for the first time a few years ago when we met in France (Yes, I did bring a jarΒ with me from home #sorrynotsorry) and he seriously did not get what the big deal was about. But after a couple years of living together my love for peanut butter has rubbed of on him. We’ve been enjoying these Chocolate Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies all week long as a delicious and decadent post workout or late night snack! #EatHappyLiveHappy

These Chocolate Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies are as easy as mixing five simple ingredients in a bowl and baking them for 10 minutes – that means you are only 15 minutes away from enjoying these much healthier, fudgey, soft, thick and chewy Chocolate Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies anytime of day… or night πŸ™‚Β

And if you want you can leave a few peanut butter swirls in the batter – below are the cookies I made from the first batch. Peanut Butter + Chocolate = love πŸ˜‰

Am I the only one who loves a homemade, “rustic” looking cookie like this one? Wishing you a great week!

And if you do try these Chocolate Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies, I love hearing about it!Β InstaΒ or TweetΒ it to me (@cearaskitchen with hashtag #cearaskitchen) or Facebook it to me via the Ceara’s Kitchen Facebook Page!

A delicious and healthy Flourless Peanut Butter Cookie with only FIVE ingredients! These cookies are fudgey, thick, soft, slightly chewy around the edges and filled with delicious chocolate chips throughout!
Author: Ceara
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 20 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water (flax β€œegg”)
  • ΒΌ cup cocoa powder
  • ΒΎ cup brown cane sugar
  • Β½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup all natural peanut butter (stirred very well)
  • Β½ cup chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 355f/180c. Line cookie sheets with a slipmat or baking paper.
  2. Mix together the flax and water in a large bowl. Leave to sit for five minutes to thicken - this is your β€œflax egg”.
  3. Add cocoa powder, brown cane sugar and sea salt to the flax β€œegg”. Mix and cream ingredients together with a spatula.
  4. Add peanut butter to the mixture. Stir in the peanut butter until the batter is well combined - the batter will be very thick. *Make sure that the peanut butter is well stirred before adding into the cookie batter; Warming it for a couple seconds in the microwave before adding it to the batter will make the cookie batter easier to stir.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips, reserving 1 tbsp to press into the tops of the cookies.
  6. By the tbsp, scoop cookie dough and roll into cookie dough balls with the palms of your hands. Place an inch apart on the lined baking sheet. Press a couple chocolate chips onto the tops of each cookie. Using a fork, flatten each cookie using a criss-cross pattern (*the cookies will not spread out).
  7. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and leave the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before removing.
Notes
*Make sure that the peanut butter is well stirred - if the peanut butter is dry than your cookies will be too dry and if the peanut butter is oily the cookies will be too oily.
*Tip #1 -To measure peanut butter, stir it well and warm it up in the microwave for a couple seconds before measuring it and stirring it in the batter. This will also make it easy to stir the thick cookie batter.
*Tip #2 - Spray the measuring cup with non-stick spray before measuring your peanut butter - this will make for an easy clean up!
*Tip #3 - If your cookie dough feels really "sticky", stick your cookie dough in the fridge for 10 - 15 minutes before baking. This will depend on the type of all natural peanut butter used.

I’m not a health nut, but I AM a die hard fan of chocolate & peanut butter. So is my husband! Can you substitite eggs for the flax “egg?” If so, how many? And will normal peanut butter work?

Reply
Ceara January 31, 2015 at 7:52 am

Hi Stacey! I think that replacing with an egg and normal peanut butter should work just fine but I can’t 100% vouch for the results because I’ve never tried it! Let us know if you end up baking the cookies with these substitutions – would love to know the results! Happy Baking!

These look super tasty! We’re currently being buried under a ton of snow here in Maine, I think these would be the perfect winter-blah’s rescue for today!

(Just a quick note – I double checked and the fahrenheit temperature should be more like 350F, if the celsius temperature is 180! πŸ™‚ )

Reply
Ceara January 27, 2015 at 9:47 pm

Thanks so much for the kind words, Heather!! I lived in Ottawa for four years so I know what it’s like to be buried under snow all winter πŸ™‚ Cookies do make the perfect winter rescue though! Thanks so much for pointing out the temperature by the way – I must have made a typo but it’s now fixed! Stay warm and hope you enjoy these cookies if you end up making them! Let us know the results!

HI Ceara, I have a serious peanut butter addiction (I’m getting the help that I need) so for obvious reasons, I love this cookies! I honestly can’t believe there’s only 5 ingredients in them. And they look so simple to make and oh so chocolatey. What a great and overall healthy cookie! Just switched to eating organic and natural peanut butter (eliminated the high fructose corn syrup in my life) so I definitely have the right pb to make these =) Thanks for sharing! Still can’t believe only 5 ingredients. Raving! Pinned!

Reply
Ceara January 28, 2015 at 8:40 am

I hear you on the Peanut Butter addiction! It’s very real over here as well! That’s so cool that you switched over to the all-natural stuff – I actually prefer it now over the traditional PB! Thanks so much for your kind words as always, Laura!! Hope you’re having a fantastic week!

Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice January 27, 2015 at 5:42 pm

I’m so glad you converted your boyfriend into a pb lover, Ceara! πŸ™‚ I definitely could not do without it. These cookies look so amazing! I seriously wish I could go home right now and make these. I love that they contain only five ingredients and no flour! I have yet to make a cookie like that. Pinning to try out soon! Have a great Tuesday, friend!

Ceara January 28, 2015 at 8:41 am
