Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Judy1

You probably have everything on hand to make these chewy, chocolaty peanut butter cookies. To fit the cookies on a single sheet pan, divide cookies into 5 rows of 4. Pressing the cookies flat helps them bake quickly and get lovely crisp edges; otherwise they'll be too round and undercooked.

Ingredients

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg white
• 1 cup reduced-fat chunky peanut butter
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate minichips

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Place salt and egg white in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk until white is frothy. Add peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chocolate chips, stirring to combine.
3. Divide dough into 20 equal portions (about 1 tablespoon each); arrange dough 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently press the top of each cookie with a fork; press the top of each cookie again to form a crisscross pattern, and flatten to a 2-inch diameter. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
