In my tradition of sharing recipes I like (and not incidentally storing copies in one easy-to-access place), here is a flour-less peanut butter cookie recipe. This version of the classic recipe has chocolate as well as peanut butter and is very easy to make. I like it. I hope you do too.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies
2 cups [500g] peanut butter
2 cups [400g] brown sugar
4 Tablespoons [30g] cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch salt
2 eggs
1. Heat oven to 350F.
2. Mix peanut butter, sugar and cocoa powder until smooth.
3. Add baking soda, salt and vanilla.
4. Add eggs one at a time. The mixture will be stiff.*
5. Roll into 1-inch balls, lay out on ungreased cookie sheet, flatten with a fork.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes. They will be soft; let cool five minutes before transferring to racks.
* If your mixer isn’t up to this I recommend a potato masher.
