Ingredients In Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Peanut Butter: Use classic peanut butter like Jif or Skippy for best results. If you want a little bit of extra crunch, you can use crunchy peanut butter instead.
Sugar: You can’t make cookies without sugar, right?! Sweetens and helps with structure.
Evaporated Milk: Adds moisture and a subtle richness.
Cornstarch: Acts as a binder and keeps the cookies soft.
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Add melty pockets of chocolate in every bite.
Tips & Tricks for making Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Full instructions can be found on the recipe card below, but here are a few helpful tips.
- Don’t overbake—the cookies will firm up as they cool. They may look slightly underdone when you take them out of the oven, but they continue baking on the hot sheet and settle into the perfect soft texture.
- For extra texture, sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top before baking. The salt balances the sweetness and brings out the nutty flavor of the peanut butter.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookies that bake evenly. Even sizing ensures all cookies finish baking at the same time and look bakery-perfect.
Storing Peanut Butter Cookies
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To freeze, place in a single layer in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
