We were invited last minute to a friend's house for dinner and I didn't want to show up empty handed so I literally threw these together in under 5 minutes. These are practically like drinking a protein shake since they contain peanut butter but don't have any flour or butter in them :)
I'm big on texture...these were perfectly chewy and melted in my mouth. I love quick treats like this that you can throw together especially during the summer when we always seem to have spontaneous BBQs and my kitchen isn't always stocked. Enjoy your "protein shakes".
5 Ingredient Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar1 large egg
1 tsp baking soda
½ cup milk chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips. When blended, mix in the chocolate chips. Using your fingers, form 1 1/2 inch balls (dough will be very wet and sticky) and place onto an un-greased parchment lined cookie sheet. You don't want to make them too big because they do spread. Bake for 9 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the cookies sheet for about 30 seconds to 1 minute before letting cool on a wire rack. Makes around a dozen small cookies.

I should have waited until after work to check this. Now I'll be dreaming of cookies all day.... Not that that's uncommon or anything seeing as I work in a bakery....
Only 9 more hours until I get my protein shake!
I am up for anything involving peanut butter!! Can't wait to try these.
I bet these were good! I could go for one right now with my coffee!
Oh, I am making these for sure!
I'm so excited that the ingredient list is so short! Definitely something I can make when I get home today without having to drop by the market!
Yum!!!!!! This is deadly for my weight regulation. :)
Thanks for the giveaway!

This is dangerous seeing as all of those items are normally in my house. I see many of these cookies in my future!
These look dangerously delicious and easy to make! Love your blog!
Cookies and giveaways...awesome combination!! Do you think Almond Butter would work in the cookies (peanut allergy)? They look sooo good!
YUM! These cookies are on my list for this week...can't wait to try them! I'm also a fan of fun kitchen gadgets! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love quick and easy!
Can't wait to try them.

Wow, peanut butter is my absolute favorite and if you mix it in a cookie you can't go wrong! Thanks for the recipe. I think I'm going to put it on my list to try this week.
Those cookies sounds delicious! peanut butter and chocolate together...yum!
I love these cookies. I usually make them loaded with M&M's. They are so addictive! The only bad thing, or maybe good thing, is that they make such a small batch!
i could use a cookie. and a giftcard. :)
Those look great and even better they are super easy.
Yum! These look really good, can't wait to try them. Thanks for the fun giveaway. :)
The combo of chocolate and peanut butter is my husband's favorite.
These look great.
I'll be making these tonight- YUM!
I wish my son wasn't allergic to peanut butter, it is one of my favorites!

These look very easy and so delicious! I'm excited to try the recipe :)
I love chocolate and PB, these look great!

They look awsome! Do you think they'll work with more chocolate in them? I have a habit of adding more chocolate than is called for in every cookie recipe. I'll try and then let you know.
Those cookies look amazing! I think I'll be trying them this week!
Thanks for all of your awesome recipes! Our favs are your taquitos and the bar sugar cookies. You have such good, yummy ideas!
Those cookies do look great texture wise, send some over.
I love CSN stores :)
I would LOVE a gift certificate to CSN stores. Oh the possibilities!!!
Must type fast before chocolate-peanut butter madness sets in...

Yum! Those looks delicious :) I always have those ingredients on hand, so next time I'm craving something sweet I'll have to keep this recipe nearby. Thanks for sharing, and for hosting the give-away!
This looks another one of your fabulous recipes, off to make them right now!
I love peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, thanks for such a simple recipe!
I'd love to win your giveaway and buy myself a food processor. I'm currently doing it's job by hand and I'm just not cutting it. I used my mother-in-laws food processor last week to turn cookies in to crumbs for a cheesecake bottom and what had taken me two hours to do by hand the week before was done in about 5 minutes!
I make these cookies all the time! One time I even forgot to put in the baking soda and they still turned out fine! Guess, they could be 4 ingredient cookies as well!
Great giveaway - I really need to some decorative wall hangings in my kitchen!
The cookies look great. I'm also happy about your giveaway. There's a pastry mat there that I've had my eye on. : )
These look delicious! I love anything with peanut butter.
I can't wait to try this recipe. It sounds YUMMY! Thanks for sharing.

It's peanut butter and jelly time!!
Except toss the jelly and hold chocolate!
Not many people can resist and peanut butter and chocolate cookie.
First of all, I love a quick cookie with a few ingrediants - seems like such simple wholesomeness (though not in a 'healthy' way;) These look marvelous!
And I offically love the name of your blog. When I first read it (after coming over from Food Gawker) I thought "Dang, I wish I had thought of that!" That would also describe me perfectly!
Just found your blog and I love it! Tons of recipes I am ready to try!
Those look delicious! I served your creamsicle cookies at a party, and they were such a hit!
pecancreeksouthblog@gmail.com

i'm thinking this is low carb... think about it, no flour!!! at least you are saving some calories and adding the protein.
yummmy!
Love your blogspot! Can't wait to try these!
It's probably a good thing I don't have any chocolate chips in my pantry right now...'cause if I made these, I would most likely eat them all by myself!
~deanna
I love your blog Christy. Found it last month while on vacation. This cookie recipe is great to have on hand. Excited to try them...
Looks like the perfect cookie to me! Love the blog!
Made these tonight. Couldn't be easier. They are very sweet but yummy. Perfect with a cold glass of milk.
These cookies look heavenly! I love your blog and make stuff from you all the time.

OMG!! I am soo jealous of these cookies right now. The photo-shoot must have been amazing! These cookies look UBER delicious!
Oooh! I'm so excited! I love peanut butter cookies and my sister-in-law is allergic to wheat, soy, and dairy. With the right kind of chocolate chips, even she can eat these. And since my hero is whoever originally put peanut butter and chocolate together, I'm sure to be a big fan! Might even have to make them tomorrow. :)

am i too late to enter? thanks for a new peanut butter cookie recipe!
yummo- these look great- a must try. ps tried those smore bars-they were fantastic and EASY! ty
@Mo Betta,
I don't think that Almond Butter would work. I think peanut butter gives it that texture that's the bomb. I think Almond Butter would melt too much.
I just stumbled across this recipe and decided to make them tonight. Super easy... I made some modifications though... I doubled the recipe, used chunky peanut butter and semi-sweet choc. chips (3/4c for the doubled recipe)since milk choc is so sweet. They turned out delicious! Definitely will add this recipe to my recipe box and put it in my cookie rotation!
I made these today and they are DELICIOUS! Thanks for the great recipe!
chocolate and peanut butter, just the perfect combination for a perfect cookie, love your recipe.

I am thinking.....and I didn't read all the previous posts....that if you wanted to cut down on calories you could use trader joes better than peanut butter which has less fat and calories!
Holy yumminess...
