GF/DF Peanut Butter Cookies



I think its impossible to eat completely healthy at all times. These cookies are a perfect treat to pick you up when you've been being good for a while. These are extremely addictive! (My boyfriend, Edd managed to inhale 10 in under 5 minutes.) These cookies are both gluten and dairy free. As well as having only 3 ingredients, so they are quick and easy to make. They aren't full of loads of unknown sugary ingredients like shop-bought cookies. They are the good side of naughty, using honey rather than pure caster sugar. 

(Apologies for the terrible photo also! Too busy stuffing my face!)






All you will need is,

One Egg
One Cup of Peanut Butter
1/3 Cup of Honey (I use Organic)
-Sprinkle of Salt



Add all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk everything together. You can also add dairy free chocolate chips, coconut, fruit or nuts for some added flavour/texture.
On a baking tray with parchment on, spoon thumb-size lumps. The mixture will spread as it is quite runny but thats what makes them gooey when they cook. 
I also added a teaspoon of strawberry jam (Peanut Butter and Jelly is the best combo!) and Nutella onto some of them before they went into the oven. I wanted to experiment of different variations! 
At 180 degrees cook them for 5-8 minutes or, until they are brown around the edges. They will be soft in the middle but will harden slightly once cooled. You want them to be as gooey in the middle as possible, so they don't dry out!


Try topping them, or adding different ingredients in, to get different flavours and variations! 


Enjoy!
