i never had much of a sweet tooth until i got pregnant with bella. that girl must've been sugar in my womb because ever since she left it, i crave sweets.
i saw this recipe on a blog the other day and i knew immediately i had to try it. we had all the ingredients in our cupboard, and it was a rainy outside. our day pretty much begged for some cookie baking. this recipe is super easy and bella loved helping (and eating chocolate chips as we baked).
there is no butter, white sugar or flour in these babies, so even though it was ten o'clock in the morning when we pulled the trays of freshly baked cookies out of the oven, i felt completely justified in giving one to each of my girls.
yum.
enjoy!
flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
* 2/3 c. quick oats
* 1 t. baking soda
* 1 c. creamy peanut butter
* 2/3 c. brown sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 1/2 t. vanilla
* 2/3 c. chocolate chips
- combine oats and baking soda, set aside.
- in a large bowl, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth; about three minutes.
- mix in dry ingredients. gradually fold in chocolate chips.
- scoop cookie dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. gently flatten with the back of a spoon.
- bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes, just until the edges begin to turn golden brown. cookies may seem a bit underdone, but they will continue to cook as they cool. makes 16-20 cookies.
* note: these are best fresh outta the oven. i'm a stickler about eating warm cookies; i love to pop our leftover cookies the next day in the microwave for a few seconds before i eat them. these are best warmed in a toaster oven--or real oven--to get that golden brown goodness back. yum.
(that's if you have any leftover)
