5-ingredients: Peanut Butter Choc-Chips Cookies

Last night, for some reasons when making these cookies, I decided to try and make them healthy. Seriously, what was I thinking...

Me and less sugar just don't mix..!

I have no idea what came over me but heres hoping it never happens again.

I literally 'throw' these ingredients together, in a mixing bowl, in under 5 minutes. These are practically like drinking a protein shake since they contain peanut butter but don't have any flour and sugar in them... ;)

I'm big on texture, these were perfectly chewy and melt in my mouth.

I love quick treats like this that you can throw together in a jiffy.

Sharing the recipe:

5 Ingredients Peanut Butter Choc-Chips Cookies

1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter

3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar

1 large Egg

1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

1/2 tspn Bicarbonate Soda

Pre-heat oven 350 degress.

Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips.

When blend, mix in the chocolate chips.

Using your fingers, form 1 1/2 in balls (dough will be very wet and sticky), and place onto an un-greased baking sheet.

You dont want to make them too big because they DO spread....

...trust me, they spread..!

Bake for 9 mins and let cookies sit on the baking sheet/tray for about 30 secs to 1 minute before letting cool on a wire rack.

Makes about 2 dozens cookies.

Enjoy...!

550 gm - Mixture of Cereals, such as:-

1 Cup - YoGood Honey Toasted Muesli

1 Cup - Rolled Oat

1 Cup - Black Raisins

1 Cup - Assorted nuts (walnut, pecan, macadamia, cashew, etc...)

1/2 cup - Chococolate chips

(above does'nt have to be exact as long as everything makes about 550 gm.

In fact you can use any cereal of your choice)

540 gm - Butter/Margarine

350 gm - Brown Sugar (I use brown sugar-less sweet)

550 gm - All Purpose Flour

1 1/2 teaspn - Sodium Bicarbonate

1 - large Egg

1 teaspn - Vanilla

2 tablespn - Maple Syrup (optional)

Method:

Cream butter+sugar.

Add Egg +vanila+ bicarbonate soda.

Add maple syrup (if using).

Pour in the cereals (Oats+Nuts+Choc Chips)

Once mixed, slowly add the flour

(this you need to use your hand to mix the dough - trust me, it will be much easier to handle..!).

Once evenly mixed, spoon dough onto a baking sheet.

Make sure you give room in between the cookies coz it will expand a bit.

Bake in 250 deg oven, or until golden brown. Let it cool on a rack.

Done..!
