The Pantry shelves are always stocked with peanut butter – sometimes jelly, too. Here’s a recipe for high protein peanut butter cookies that are quick and easy to bake.

1 cup creamy natural peanut butter

1 egg

1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar (brown or white) or sugar substitute

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (optional but delicious if added)

1/4 tsp. salt (optional)

1 cup chocolate chips (are these ever optional?)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a baking sheet.

Thoroughly mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheet.  Slightly flatten with a fork making crisscross marks.

Bake for 8-12 minutes until only slightly brown and firm on the top.  Let these extremely fragile cookies cool on the cookie sheet before removing to a cooling rack.

Enjoy!
