Equipment
Ingredients
- 250 g creamy smooth peanut butter*
- 30 g caster sugar
- 70 g light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg large
- 170 g chocolate chips milk or dark chocolate
Instructions
- Place the creamy peanut butter, both types of sugar and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Using an electric handheld mixer, beat until sugar is fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Add an egg and beat again for 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through. Mix in the chocolate chips and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C Fan. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the cookie dough into 14 pieces. Roll them into dough balls (or use an ice cream scoop) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced out by at least 3 cm. Press each cookie down a little bit with your hands as they won't spread much.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 12-14 minutes. The edges of cookies should be golden brown, but they will be extremely soft when hot. Leave these gf peanut butter cookies to cool down slightly on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes. Transfer them onto a wire rack to cool down completely.

Notes
*Use creamy peanut butter (NOT the type that has oil separation).
Do not eat them warm, they will taste far too sweet and slightly granular, but these issues are gone once they cool down!
Store the cookies in an airtight container in a cool dark cupboard for up to a week.
