Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

It goes without saying that a batch of homemade Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies are going to disappear within 20 minutes of pulling them out of the oven. So, I often makes two batches! Once the second batch cools down, I add them immediately to a glass dish to be saved for later.

What surprises my family every time is when they ask, “Does this peanut butter chocolate chip cookie have real sugar in it?” and I joyfully reply that not only is there no white sugar but that they are actually healthy peanut butter cookies!

How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies

Making peanut butter cookies is easy. There’s only a few ingredients that make up these absolutely delicious cookies… and all you need is 1 bowl and a mixing spoon.

Natural Peanut Butter – We love using peanut butter in our recipes. It’s full of protein, it’s heart healthy and lowers risk of diabetes. Always check the ingredients — the only ingredient on the label should be peanuts.

Almond Butter – You can of course use all peanut butter, but we love this recipe split in half with almond butter. Almond butter is a great source of monounsaturated fat, protein, and fiber. It’s also a great source of vitamin E, magnesium, copper and vitamin B2.

Coconut Sugar – We switch out sugar in our recipes with coconut sugar. (Note: this is a good article explaining why we like coconut sugar.)

Dark Chocolate “Chips” – Hu Simple Dark Chocolate Bar is made with 3 ingredients: organic cacao, unrefined organic coconut sugar and organic cocoa butter. Yes, that’s it!! We are so excited that Hu makes chocolate that is clean, easy to get delivered to your door and delicious in our clean recipes.

The Healthiest, Cleanest Baking Dish

As you know, here at Clean Cuisine we love eating clean AND using non-toxic cookware in the kitchen. We love unglazed stoneware because that’s all it is, unglazed, uncoated stoneware that is pure and clean to bake with. Our favorite baking sheet is this large bar pan from Pampered Chef (as seen in the photo above).

The Story Behind the Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips

A few months ago, my sweet friend Kate posted about these delicious almond cookies. I made them a few times and yes, my family loved them… but we had to replace the white sugar with coconut sugar and we lean towards peanut butter. So, with Kate’s permission, I modified the recipe for Clean Cuisine and here we are today.

Kate has a terrific blog and you can find her at Real Life Autoimmune. She shared delicious recipes that support the AIP diet and lead to a beautiful life for Kate.

    What is the measurement in ounces or cups for “1/2 a bar”?

      Each bar is 2.1 oz of 60g… so, I chopped and used 1/2 of that. For weight, you can do 30g — or more, if you prefer more chocolate!

    These were amazing! My 13 year old made them last night and they were a huge hit! They were on the salty side, so next time we will reduce the salt, other than that…AMAZING! Thank you!

      Brenda, We are thrilled to hear you loved them — and I’m so sorry for the saltiness. I have updated the recipe card to reflect 1/2 teaspoon!!

    The cookies look like there is cocoa in the batter, but none is listed. Is this correct?

      Correct, there is no cocoa. For “chocolate chips” I cut up 100% cacao bars and sometimes the smaller pieces darken the dough.
