I always joke that in my house we love all things food! There is nothing that I would rather do than sit around with a group of close friends drinking a great bottle of wine and enjoying a meal together. So, I always love finding new recipes to share with all of you. These gluten free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are an absolute dream. I am a huge peanut butter fan so I was hooked by my first bite. 

Wow, the cookies are so delicious that my mouth is watering as I look through these images and write out the recipe! My mom introduced me to this recipe after she got home from a health spa in Ojai, California with a group of her friends. They had visited a local coffee shop while on their trip and fell in love with the gluten free peanut butter cookies that the shop was selling. Thankfully they were able to coerce the baker to pass along their fabulous recipe... and now I am able to share it with all of you!

Ingredients:

3 cups peanut butter

2 cups sugar

3 large eggs

1 cup chocolate chips (plus another handful for good luck!)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine the sugar, peanut butter, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Mix on medium high for at least 5 minutes until the ingredients are completely combined and smooth. 
  3. Add in eggs and beat for another minute or so until fully combined.
  4. Next, add the chocolate chips and mix until the chocolate is evenly distributed.
  5. Form the dough into round balls and flatten into a disk before baking. 
  6. Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are light brown and slightly hard to touch. Middle will still be soft. *Do not over bake.
  7. Note: you can store any extra dough in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  8. Enjoy!

I hope that you all enjoy this recipe. Make sure to share with me what your thoughts are once you try them! The only problem now that you have this recipe is that you won't be able to stop yourself from making them all the time because they are so delicious and easy to make! Best of luck restraining yourselves...

XOXO,
