3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies
There’s no better combo than PB and chocolate right?! In fact, I’m known to actually dip my dark chocolate straight in the PB jar and eat it… And sometimes when I’ve got a bit more time on my hands I love to whip up these cookies because they are so easy and unbelievably tasty. This recipe is totally sugar free and sweetness will depend on the type chocolate you use. If you have a major sweet tooth, I suggest using a sweeter chocolate, but if like me you’re a bitter chocolate lover, the darker the better!
Tip: This cookie dough is best mixed by hand. Keep mixing until the dough appears crumbly rather than slimy. Make sure you always wash your hands before rolling to ensure it doesn’t stick to your hands.
