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.

    These look so packed with flavor, it really is hard to believe that there is no flour ingredient. Glad you added the oats. thanks for sharing

    I'm constantly saying that, too: "The oatmeal makes it healthy" but my family still complains.
