Texture is everything with these — they bake up chewy and tender and practically melt in your mouth. They’re a quick, reliable treat for summer gatherings, barbecues, or whenever your pantry is light but you still want something delicious.

Flourless 5-Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – quick, gluten-free, and perfect when you want an easy sweet to share.
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, and baking soda until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips. The dough will be wet and sticky.
-
Form the dough into 1½-inch balls using your fingers and place them on an ungreased, parchment-lined baking sheet. Keep the cookies small so they don’t spread too much.
-
Bake 7–9 minutes. When removed from the oven, let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 30–60 seconds, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Avoid leaving them on the hot sheet to prevent overbaking. Yields about 12 small cookies.
