Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
When the weeks are hectic and there’s little extra time for baking, but you’re still craving cookies. You could make a run to the grocery store, or you could set aside roughly 15 minutes to whip up today’s quick treat!
When I say quick, I mean it. These pb cookies require only 6 ingredients, that you most likely already have on hand in the pantry!
Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
And they are DIVINE!
Lately I’ve been experimenting with a grain less and gluten-free diet, so these flourless cookies check all the boxes. And the best thing about them is that you won’t even miss the flour!
Packed with all-natural crunchy peanut butter, peanut butter powder and only sweetened with coconut sugar (before adding the chocolate, that is.)
I do admit they aren’t the prettiest cookies I’ve ever made, but dunking them in vegan dark chocolate dressed them up to perfection!
Naturally I decided to sprinkle the chocolate dipped pb cookies with sea salt, since they go hand in hand.
There’s not much better than this sweet and salty, peanutty combo! Soft and chewy too!
If I could hand you one through the screen right now, I would!

If you’re feeling a little bit fancy mix in some extras. Cacao nibs, coconut or even dried fruit will kick the pb cookies up a notch.
I personally loved the bitterness and extra crunch from cacao nibs.
But they’ll be delicious no matter how you decide to make them!
I sure hope you give them a try as well as this version made with tahini!
Have a sweet Thursday!
