Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These delicious cookies are gluten free with no flour! Adapted this recipe that originally called for brown sugar, changing it up with healthier coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is lower glycemic index than traditional sugar and NATURAL. I always use it to replace brown sugar in recipes. These cookies are so yummy- you would never know they're made with NO refined sugar!

Ingredients: 

1 cup creamy peanut butter  
3/4 cup coconut sugar  
1 large egg  
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 teaspoon salt  
1 cup dark chocolate morsels 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients except chocolate.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Drop batter by rounded tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto parchment lined baking sheets.
Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes until puffed and lightly browned.
Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.
ENJOY!!!

These are NOT low calorie cookies ;) They are however MUCH better for you than traditional peanut butter or chocolate chip cookies.

Ingredients:
1 (16 oz) jar of natural almond butter
