Choco Peanut Butter Cookies - Gluten Free!

Once again I'm bringing another Pinterest recipe to life. And it's a Pinterest WIN! These cookies seemed easy to make - and I like easy. There are just 6 ingredients - all of which I had in the house. 

The hardest part about these cookies is that there is some waiting involved. The actual mixing of the ingredients and baking is quick and easy; however, after you make the dough, it needs to be refrigerated for 2 hours. When we're talking warm chocolate and peanut butter cookies, I have a hard time waiting. But they are worth the wait. I promise.


2 cups peanut butter (store-bought peanut butter is just fine; I used Jif)
2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla
2 teaspoons baking soda
1.5 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Mix peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Add in the baking soda and stir well. Mix in chocolate chips.  The chocolate chips may not stick in very well; that's okay. 

Refrigerate dough for 2 hours. 

Roll dough into balls and separate onto a cookie sheet. 

Bake cookies for 10 minutes at 350. When you take them out of the oven, it is important to let them sit on the tray for 3-4 minutes before taking them off. This is hard to do because you will just want to take them off the tray and devour them. I tried to take the first one off too soon, and it was too gooey because it had not yet set. Let them set and they are perfect. 

Let them cool. Pour a glass of milk, and enjoy.
