Calling all peanut butter lovers – these chocolate chunk peanut butter cookies are for you!!
I made a batch of chocolate chunk peanut butter cookies last week and I couldn’t help but share the recipe with you.
In my opinion, cookies should never take too long to prepare. That’s why I love these and these and also today’s recipe for chocolate chunk peanut butter cookies…
The thing I love about all of these recipes is their one thing in common:
They only require 4 ingredients and they are so quick and easy to prepare.
Naturally Gluten Free
These chocolate chunk peanut butter cookies are gluten free as they rely on the peanut butter and egg to hold them together. This makes them so ridiculously fudgy that you may find it hard to stop at just one (don’t say I didn’t warn you!). They’re sweetened with sugar and flavoured with a drop or two of vanilla extract.
Variations:
- Swap chocolate chips for dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, sultanas)
- Add in chopped nuts
- Dip the baked cookies in melted chocolate for extra indulgence
