Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup Smooth Natural Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup Gluten Free Quick Cooking Oats
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1/4 cup Water, if needed
  • 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
  • Pinch of sea salt on top of each, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 375 degrees.
  • With a mixer or whisk combine the peanut butter, egg, brown sugar and vanilla.
  • Add in the oats, baking powder and water if needed. Different oats soak up more water than others. If your dough isn't holding together just slowly add in a little water until it holds together nicely.
  • Roll into balls about the size of a golf ball and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  • Smash the cookies down to proper size as they will not spread. Sprinkle with sea salt if using.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are starting to look golden. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

To make these gluten free, you need to use gluten free oats.  I recommend Bob's Red Mill.  If you're not gluten free, use regular quick cooking oats.  If you only have old fashioned oats, zip those up in the food processor to break them down a bit before using in the cookies.
