Seriously… I swear I ate the whole batch of these Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. I could eat these every day for the rest of my life and be happy.  As long as chocolate and peanut butter are involved, it’s hard not to be happy, don’t you think? 🙂

After I made the cookies, I opted to keep my cute little cookies in the fridge in a ziploc bag, as a futile attempt to hide them from ME.  If you are a sweets/chocoholic addict-freak like me, you don’t EVER forget where all the chocolate stash is in your house.

How to Make Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies 

  1. Preheat oven to 350° and prepare a baking sheet by spraying with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, using mixer on low-to-medium speed, mix peanut butter, honey, vanilla, eggs, oats and baking soda until smooth and well combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Dough will be a little sticky, that’s how it’s supposed to be.
  3. Use a small cookie scoop to drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. You can leave as is in the cookie scoop shape or pat down very lightly, depending how you want your cookies to look.
  4. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes until puffed and lightly golden brown on edges. (Rotate baking pan halfway through baking time).
  5. Cool cookies on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes to set up, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. If you want to make these cookies larger, increase time to 12-14 minutes or until puffed and lightly golden brown on edges.

  1. Hey! Do you have an idea of approx. how many calories are in the cookies if I make them around the same size as your picture?

  2. This looks really awesome!! I’m a chocolate lover and have been for years so this is definitely on my list to make.
