Peanut Butter Choc Chip Cookies

*While I’ve made a few of these biscuits as coeliac friendly options, this recipe isn’t my own. Shared to me by a friend years ago, with the author unknown.

**Gluten free, but not exactly healthy, with all that sugar… Tasty with a cuppa, none-the-less, and well worth sharing. xxx

Ingredients

1 cup Peanut Butter ( * I use Pic’s Crunchy here, but any good quality, nut only butter here works well)

3/4 cup Brown sugar

1 lge Egg

1/2 tsp Bicarb (baking) soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup Chocolate chips

Method

Preheat the oven to 180*c, and line your baking tray with baking paper.

Add the egg and brown sugar into a medium sized bowl and whisk until light and fluffy.

Pop in your peanut butter and mix until all ingredients well combined, then add the bicarb (baking) soda and the salt, mixing well.

Lastly add the choc chips, and mix through.

Roll or form heaped teaspoon sized balls, placing onto your baking tray, allowing room for spreading.. How much they spread will depend upon the egg size and the peanut butter used. Some are just more liquid than others…

Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden in colour. Timing here will vary, with all ovens cooking slightly differently. Stay in the kitchen, keeping an eye on them so they don’t burn… Once golden, remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the trays for 5 mins before eating and sharing.

Store once fully cooled in an airtight container.
