Somewhat Healthier Eggless Peanut Butter -Chocolate Chip Cookies!
In my opinion, the best two things ever made with peanuts (or groundnuts, as we call them here in India) are peanut butter and Indian style peanut-jaggery brittle called “chikki”. I know there are many who wouldn’t agree and I would love to know what your favourite peanut confection/ concoction is.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar granulated
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy (I used crunchy)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp flax seed water powdered mixed with warm in 3 tbsps
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate semisweet mini chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine first 8 ingredients
- Using an electric mixer, beat at medium speed until the mixture is smooth
- Combine the all purpose and whole wheat flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Stir with a whisk. Add this flour mixture to peanut butter mixture, stirring everything just until combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets. I found the dough dry enough to roll into small balls and flatten them slightly.
- Bake the cookies at 180C for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
- This recipe gave me about 30 cookies (approximately 2 1/2u201d diameter)
