minutesChocolate and peanut butter: A marriage made in cookie heaven!
These are so much fun, cracked all over and forming dark ridges on the white-dusted tops: hide them well! Dear Gluten-Free Friends, you’ll be happy to know these are every bit as delicious made with Gluten-Free flour!
Ingredients
1 cup smooth peanut butter, try your best for unsalted
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder, decaf OK
1 cup best-quality semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup water, milk or dairy-free milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt (skip if you used salted peanut butter)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour: all-purpose, whole wheat pastry, or spelt (gluten-free: use any GF flour)
Powdered sugar, sifted
Directions
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius.
- Melt the peanut butter, coffee powder, chocolate chips, sugar, cocoa and water on a very low flame in a saucepan. This step will only take a minute or two, so please watch it carefully.
- Turn off the flame, let the mixture cool slightly, and add all remaining ingredients.
- Mix thoroughly by hand.
- Form little balls and roll them in the powdered sugar.
- Place on a foil-lined cookie sheet and flatten slightly.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes until they look cracked all over.
