6 Ingredients: Simplest Cookies Ever


I may have hit jackpot last night in the search for the Great Harvest Bread Co. recipe for Flourless Peanut & Chocolate Chip Cookies.  I did pretty well with these babies but alas they had flour so I knew they weren't the ones. 


Then, I found a 5 ingredient cookie recipe and I thought maybe...only thing missing was the oats.  It makes them healthy I promise.  I whipped this up in 5 minutes flat. Heating the oven up was the longest part of the whole shebang. 

Flourless Peanut Better and Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 C creamy peanut butter
1 C firmly packed light brown sugar
1 C rolled oats
1 large egg
1 tsp baking soda
½ C milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips. When blended, mix in the chocolate chips.


Form 1 1/2 inch balls (dough will be very wet and sticky) and place onto a lined cookie sheet. 

Bake for 9 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the cookies sheet for about 1 minute before letting cool on a wire rack.
