Delicious Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!

One of the first things I did after being diagnosed was buying decent gluten free cookbooks. And even though I haven't tried every single recipe in them yet, one that I did try was absolutely delicious! My entire family loves them!

The recipe is below:

1c creamy peanut butter
1c brown sugar
1 egg (I use egg replacer)
1tsp baking soda
1c semi sweet chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients well. Drop well rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.

While the recipe doesn't contain any nutritional information, I have a feeling these are high calorie. ;) However, because baking and cleaning up afterward is a pain in my opinion (especially after having to cook every single meal for myself), I only bake treats on special occasions...or when I really have a craving. That makes it feel like a special treat. :)

The book is The Complete Book of Gluten-Free Cooking by Jennifer Cinquepalmi. She is not a trained chef but she is a mom of a child with Celiac. Every recipe is something she tried over and over to perfect. There are recipes for breads, cookies, breakfasts, meats, vegetables and more. It reads like a family member or friend is just sharing recipes. I've noticed that one recipe lists an ingredient but never says anything about that ingredient anywhere in the directions. And in some cases GF is printed before peanut butter and in other cases it's omitted. I praise her for trying though and really put this on the editor of the book. I highly recommend the cookbook and I can't wait to try more of the recipes.
