Flourless Peanutty Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have been craving peanut butter cookies lately, so when I came across this recipe for chunky peanutty chocolate chip cookies, I knew I would be making them.

With only seven ingredients, there was minimal measuring and mixing which is always a good thing on a Sunday afternoon.

I am not opposed to spending a lot of time in the kitchen baking cookies, but sometimes you just want to get in and out as quickly as you can, yet still end up with a delicious cookie.

And that's just what we have here - a delicious cookie that is perfectly balanced between sweet and salty.

And because there is no flour, this easy recipe winds up being gluten-free too - an added bonus if you can't have or are trying to minimize your gluten intake.

All you have to do is stir the ingredients together, roll the dough into balls, bake for about 14 minutes and you're done!
