Flourless Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

These cookies are amazing and only 4 ingredients! They mix up in a matter of minutes and are so delicious they will not last long, cuz they will be devoured quickly.

I love my Gramma and Mom’s old fashioned peanut butter cookies, but these are great if you are trying to eliminate flour and eat a little healthier.

They really are yummy, and I have to admit, go perfectly with a glass of wine.  Or milk, you decide!

The simple ingredients are 3/4 cup brown sugar, I used light.  One cup of peanut butter, I prefer creamy but you can certainly use the peanut butter with nuts. One egg and 1/2 (or a little more) chocolate chips.  I wanted to use the mini chips but I could not find any. You could also omit the chocolate chips and just make them peanut butter, or add peanut butter chips to boost that nutty treat.

Mix the brown sugar, peanut butter and egg, by hand, until well blended.  Add the chocolate chips and stir so that they are evenly distributed.

Roll into balls, I used a small scoop so they were all the same size. Place on parchment paper about 2 inches apart. Flatten with a fork and make the usual cross pattern, or just flatten with the bottom of a glass.

Bake at 375 for about 12-15 minutes but make sure to not over bake.

You are going to love them!

Homemade Tortilla Chips

These homemade tortilla chips are amazing! I love making them, I just can’t make enough at one time to satisfy my tummy.

I only use the corn tortillas and honestly, I have not made them with the flour tortillas but I’m sure they would work too.

I used a pizza cutter to cut each tortilla into quarters, and I set them aside. I good sharp knife works too.

Before you start frying, keep a large platter covered with paper towels to drain the tortillas as you pull them from the oil.

In a fry pan or cast iron skillet I heat just enough oil to slightly cover the tortillas as they fry. But, I keep the oil bottle nearby because I keep adding extra oil as needed as I fry each batch.

Make sure the oil is hot enough to immediately start cooking the tortillas as soon as you add them to the oil.

Don’t crowd the fry pan, and turn to cook each side. It only takes a few minutes for each batch. You only want to fry them until they are golden, do not overcook. When you pull them from the oil to drain you need to season them right away.

Here’s where you can get creative. You can just season with salt, I love using sea salt. You can also add other spices, seasonings and/or herbs. I have used cumin, salt & pepper, thyme, chopped rosemary. The possibilities are endless!

Enjoy!
