Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, GF

April 22, 2016 By travellingoven 2 Comments

I two very healthy breakfast recipes for you this week and today is Friday so that means it’s time for cookies! 😀 If you like peanut butter than you’ll like these peanut butter chocolate cookies, they are seriously good!

Peanut butter is actually not something that I eat very often, not as nearly as almond butter or cashew butter for example, those two are my favorite nut butters but if I do eat peanut butter, then it’s mostly in cookies or some kind of dessert. UPDATED: this has changed over the last few years and now peanut butter IS my favourite nut butter LOL! 😀 Having said that, I still eat it in cookies and desserts but also by spoon or with different jams combinations for breakfast.

More about peanut butter… and cookies

I believe that in some countries like United States or UK most people love peanut butter and peanut butter & jelly or jam sandwich is kind of a must in most of the households. But in most of Europe including my own country Croatia, it’s not something that people actually eat that often. It’s interesting to think how some food that is so common in one country, doesn’t get as nearly as much appreciation in another. Anyway, if you happen to like peanut butter or you normally don’t eat it but want to try something a bit different, make these cookies, they literally melt in your mouth.

And than there is that beautiful dark chocolate that makes everything even better. 😀 Great thing about these cookies (besides that they are so yummy!) is that there is absolutely no flour in them so they are naturally gluten-free and great for those who try to avoid gluten in their diet. When I was testing this recipe, I had way too many cookies at home so I brought some to a friend when I visited her and was so happy that she loved them so much!

Honestly, those little things make me so happy! 🙂

This is how they look like before baking…

And this after the baking…

They are soft, chewy from the inside, full of peanut butter and chocolate flavour, heaven if I may say so myself!

Otherwise, I don’t have that much to write about as the life I must admit hasn’t been all that interesting lately and it had its challenges. Mainly it’s been work and hoping for better times to come, hopefully they will soon… What about you? How is your Spring been so far (or Autumn if you are on the other side of the world!)? I do share a bit more about my life and some other food and not-food related stuff on my social media so I hope you’ll follow me on my Facebook page, my instagram account, my Pinterest where I pin a lot of beautiful food photography and great recipes.
Being on social media is such an important part of this job but it does take a lot of time and can also make you procrastinate and spend too much time following all the people whose work you love so it’s all about balance. But I’m still learning that and have to be better at organizing my time and prioritize… And now, let’s treat ourselves and have some cookies!

Author: Lili Basic
Recipe type: Cookies, GF
Serves: 15-16 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 jar peanut butter (350 g / 0.77 lb)
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar (or light brown sugar)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • Note: 1 cup = 250ml
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine peanut butter and sugar using an electric mixer.
  3. Add egg, baking soda, vanilla and salt and mix until it's all combined.
  4. Stir in chopped chocolate.
  5. Using 1 tbsp of batter per cookie, make little balls and place them on prepared baking tray leaving enough space between as the cookies will spread when baking.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to wire cooling rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.
  7. Note: Don't leave them in the oven longer than 10 min, they will look very soft and under-done but they will harden as they cool down.

It was an early afternoon and this little farmers’ market was closing as I asked the woman selling the flowers if I could take a photo. She sounded almost embarrassed and said ‘oh you should have come earlier when my flowers were in their full beauty and the display was much prettier, I’m afraid they won’t make a nice photo now..’ I replied that they are beautiful and that I would very much like to take a photo of them. And afterwards I thought how I haven’t even noticed that they weren’t ‘perfect’ anymore. I guess I have always been drawn to ‘imperfection’ and find great beauty in it. ☺️✨✨✨
I absolutely love Wabi Sabi, The Japanese Art of Impermanence, an aesthetic that finds beauty in things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.
Wabi-Sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.❤️
Few scenes from beautiful island and town Rab..💛 There are places that have that special atmosphere and good energy that is difficult to put into words. You simply have to be there to feel it. But I hope these few images give you a bit of that wonderful vibe…✨

Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I lov Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I love its sweet and rich taste and aroma, almonds, lemon and orange zest, Maraschino liqueur...🧡
It is believed that this dessert was served for the first time in 1177 to the Pope Alexander III on the occasion of the blessing of the Rab Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. One hundred years ago this unique Rab dessert was made by nuns in the monastery of St. Anthony of Padua, while some time later also in the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. The original and at the same time secret recipe was only known to a few of the Rab women. Even today it is known to only a few and it's made on especially festive occasions...
