flourless 4 ingredient GLUTEN FREE chocolate chip cookie

FLOURLESS 4-INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE

(Also naturally gluten-free)

 



We all love chocolate chip cookies, but baking them can sometimes be such a hassle, with so many ingredients and flour to measure out. So I set out to find a recipe that is easy, quick, and still healthy. 

For all us busy moms and supermoms out there, and all the professionals who feel like there needs to be 25 hours in a day, this super fast recipe is the answer to your sweet cravings (without taking up too much of your time).

 A chocolate chip cookie recipe that is as delicious as it is easy! 

Easy, 4-ingredients you probably already have in your pantry: eggs, peanut butter (or any other butter such as almond), sugar, and chocolate chips. YUP. that's it. 

No baking powder, no flour, no vanilla extract, none of those extras. 

Just bake for ten minutes at 350. How easier can this get?








Unlike some of the other untraditional recipes that yields cookies that do not hold together well, these actually do. I accidentally made them a little bit too big, and they still held together perfectly, just like store-bought. It came out soft and chewy (but still dense). The kids also love them. 




This is right before I put it in the oven. I added some coconut flakes (because I put that stuff on everything!). Being made with peanut butter (or almond butter), it WILL spread out, so put small pieces on the baking tray (just a tad bigger than a half-dollar).






 Let cook for about 10 minutes after coming out of the oven before removing them from the cookie sheet. Baking takes a total of about 10-12 minutes, but varies with each oven. To know they are done, the bottom should be golden brown.  


INGREDIENTS 

1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
1 large egg
1/3 cup chocolate chip

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F.
2. Put the peanut butter in a large mixing bowl and add the sugar little by little. Mix well, then add the egg, and the chocolate chip last.
3. Scoop a heaping teaspoonsful onto a cookie sheet, gently tap to flatten out. Top with a few more chocolate chips if desired onto the batter.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes
5. Let cool for 10 minutes on a cooling wire rack.
