Um yes, this recipe has a total of 4 ingredients in it. It is that easy to make. Almost too easy to the point where it’s dangerous since I have been wanting to make these everyday since I first took my first bite of one.

The other amazing part of these cookies is that they are gluten free, grain free & dairy free. You can also make them paleo by subbing creamy almond butter for peanut butter if you’d like.These are the BEST healthy cookies ever. And they are so easy to bake.

So let’s chat about how there are 4ingredients into one peanut buttery, fudgey, delicious cookie. I am all about the easy, simple and quick recipes aka the lazy girl’s guide to eating and baking. While I love spending time in my kitchen experimenting and making different things, I understand the the average person doesn’t really get a thrill out of it like I do. Good-for-you and delicious food should be easy to prepare. It shouldn’t come with more than 10 ingredients and it shouldn’t take you hours to make. That’s what going out to dinner is for. Save the gourmet fancy Soufflés for your next date night.

4-ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies is what you can make for a quick treat after a long ass day at work or when you are in a bind and need to bring a dessert to a friend’s house. All you will need is peanut butter, an egg & coconut sugar plus chocolate chips!

If you want a larger batch of these too, you can easily double the recipe. I often do that and then freeze them. I love them frozen!

What ingredients are in these 4-ingredient flourless cookies:

  • Creamy peanut butter – if you are allergic to peanut butter, you can use almond butter too
  • Egg – I haven’t tested flax egg for this recipe
  • Coconut sugar – you can sub cane sugar if you prefer too or brown sugar can even work
  • Chocolate chips – I love dark chocolate chips for this but you can use milk chocolate or semi-sweet if you want

How to make Flourless Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, egg and baking soda together
  3. Fold in chocolate chips
  4. Using a tablespoon or your hand, place balls of dough on top cookie sheet
  5. Press down on the ball so it flattens slightly and sprinkle with flakey sea salt if desired
  6. Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes or until ready
  7. Allow the cookies to cool then enjoy!

FAQs and tips on making these flourless cookies:

  • Can I use another nut butter if I can’t eat peanut butter? Absolutely. Almond butter is my preference besides peanut butter but you can also use cashew butter or tahini too.
  • Are these cookies sweet? They’re not too sweet. As you’ll see they only have 1/2 cup of coconut sugar in them. You can add more if you want them sweeter but they also have chocolate chips, which adds sweetness.
  • I want more than 6 cookies, can I double the batch? Yes!! Double the batch if you’d like.
  • My cookies fell apart, help! Make sure to let the cookies cool completely. Also depending on the peanut butter brand, it may impact the consistency. A natural peanut butter like I use will yield different results than a conventional one like Skippy.
