Sometimes, you just crave something sweet, right? For me, cookie dough has always been my weakness. Peanut butter chocolate chip? I could eat the whole bowl if I'm not careful. But being dairy and gluten-free for over 5 years now, finding good cookies is a challenge. A friend shared their favorite flourless peanut butter cookie recipe with me, and it was a game-changer!
Baking After Bedtime
I waited until after the kids were in bed (they didn't need the sugar anyway) to whip up a batch. Of course, I had to sample the dough—how else would I know if it tasted good? The recipe made a small batch of cookies, but that’s okay because my husband and I devoured them all before the next morning. They were fantastic and held together perfectly.
Personal-Sized Indulgence
Later, I started making small, personal-sized batches of this cookie dough for portion control. Here's my go-to personal-sized peanut butter dough recipe:
- 1 scoop of peanut butter
- 1 scoop of sugar (or use raw honey for a healthier option)
- A splash of pure vanilla extract
- A handful of allergen-free chocolate chips
Mix everything and enjoy. You can adjust the sugar to make it less sweet, or even drizzle some honey instead.
