Emergency peanut butter cookies


Midnight: you've got a bad cookie craving. What to do? Making a whole batch of cookies is a recipe for waking up to regrets! This is perfect: a quick, easy peanut butter cookie recipe with a batch size of two.

Oh, and by the way, they're sugar-free. Sweetened with good ol' maple syrup! (Which is important for vegans, and those of us trying to avoid white or brown sugar. Learn more.)

This recipe is from Chocolate Covered Katie's blog, but I've neatened it up a bit.

Quick, easy sugar-free peanut butter cookies

Makes two cookies.

  • 2 T. flour (I used white whole wheat)
  • 1/16 tsp baking soda
  • generous pinch of salt
  • 1.5 T. peanut butter
  • 1.5 T. maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • optional: add some chocolate chips if you wish!
Preheat oven to 350 F.
In a cereal bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix well and form into two blobs on a parchment-covered cookie sheet. Flatten into cookie shapes (use a fork, and wipe it clean between the first and second cookie). 
Bake in preheated oven for 8-11 minutes. Check at 8 minutes, and add one to two minutes at a time until it's lightly browned in some areas.
Let cool for as long as you can stand it. Enjoy with a glass of milk, if you like. Wake up in the morning with no regrets about having devoured too many cookies the night before!
