GF Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (say that 10 times fast!!)

So now that Im a stay at home mom (till December!!),

I should be trying..

maybe more like attempting..

to do more things around the house

like laundry....sigh.

I know, when he sleeps I should too

but what happens when you have a coffee at noon

and then hes sleeping by 1pm?

Why you bake cookies,

thats what!

So throw a load of laundry in and then make these

simple

peanutty*

sure to hit the spot of any chocolate craving

cookies!

(*note: I used the recipe from this site called Tasty Kitchen http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/desserts/flourless-peanut-butter-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies-2/, 

but I lowered the sugar(and used coconut sugar) since I used reg peanut butter which has lots of sugar in it (I find anyways). ALSO she said to switch the peanut butter for any nut butter of your choice for peanut nut allergies, but not tree nut allergies!)

Preheat oven to 350

You will need:

2/3 cups GF rolled oats (I use Bobs Red Mill)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter)

1/3 cup coconut sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla

2/3 cup chocolate chips (I used semi sweet)

How to:

In a small bowl mix Oats with baking soda

Set aside

in a large bowl mix

the peanut butter, sugar, eggs

vanilla with a wisk until 

smooth

with a wooden spoon stir in oat/soda mix

then fold in chocolate chips

on a large baking sheet 

with a piece of parchement paper

roll dough into 2 inch balls

place 1 inch apart

bake for 9-11 min

until edges are slightly brown/golden

they will continue to cook once out of the oven

allow to cool on tray for 2-5 min

and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely

enjoy!!
