Peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are the only way we make chocolate chip cookies at my house. As I’ve said before, our family has this thing with peanut butter. One day, my sister had made the naughty cookies and I was craving one, so I started experimenting with a healthy version. This is it, and I hope to have a full-batch version to post sometime in the near future.
This cookie is best eaten warm…dunk it in some unsweetened almond milk and enjoy!
This cookie makes a great S snack for Trim Healthy Mamas (find out more about the plan here). Alternately, you could use it as dessert, or even breakfast. We don’t really care.
Question for the day (comment below!): have you ever made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, or are you a traditionalist (aka bo-ring)?
You can pin this post from my Desserts board here.
PS – I’ve tested this recipe with my Baking Mix and I LOVE the texture it gives! So soft…
You can find this recipe in my cookbook, Necessary Food.
- 1 egg
- 2 T natural peanut butter
- 1 T sour cream (I used full fat)
- 2 T water
- Dash of maple flavoring
- Hearty dash of salt
- 2 packets of Truvia (1½ tsp., or ¾ tsp. THM Super Sweet Blend)
- ¼ tsp. baking powder
- 1½ T Briana's Baking Mix (awesome!) *or* 1 T coconut flour (still pretty awesome)
- Chopped unsweetened baker's chocolate or 85% dark chocolate (or stevia-sweetened chocolate chips, such as Lily's brand) for the top
- Mix all ingredients together and pour onto a greased pan (I used a 9-inch cake pan) in a cookie shape, smoothing the top if necessary. Top with the chocolate. Bake at 350 degrees F for 11-13 minutes or until the top is just dry (less is best - times will vary according to what flour you use). Eat plain or dunk in unsweetened almond milk. This cookie is best warm.

This is my favorite new recipe! I appreciate you takibg the time to share on your website! Lord Jesus bless you and yours! I pray your move went great!
Kristen says
Do you think I could cook this in a skillet or even a waffle maker? Our oven is out and a cookie sounds divine.
Briana Thomas Burkholder says
If I had to choose between the two I’d try making it in a waffle iron. A peanut butter chocolate chip cookie waffles sounds amazing!
Bri says
Haha, randomly stumbled on this blog post again- sorry I hadn’t subscribed to the comments! It’s short for Ambrielle :).
Jen says
Can this be made only using Swerve as the sweetener?
Briana Thomas says
Sure! You can use this sweetener conversion chart to help you figure out amounts (or just do it to taste): http://www.trimhealthymama.com/main-home/sweetener-conversion-chart/
Sally says
Awesome! I used the THM baking blend, 2T and it was perfect! Very satisfying. Thanks, Briana!
Jessica says
Hi! Could this be saved overnight and baked the next day?
Briana Thomas says
You mean mix up the dough, refrigerate, then bake the next day? I’m not sure – never tried it! You’d probably need to add more liquid and adjust the baking time to compensate for the cold dough.
Debbie says
This looks amazing! Can you use the THM baking blend with it?
Briana Thomas says
I haven’t tried that, but I’m sure it would work. 🙂 You may need closer to 2 T THM Baking Blend since it’s not as dry as my baking mix.
Sarah Richardson says
Loved this! Satisfied my Super Bowl craving. Keep creating. God bless you!!!
Ally says
So i can eat the whole thing in one serving?
Briana Thomas says
Yes ma’am!
Linda L. says
I can’t wait for your cookbook! It already has a home……when it comes out…… right next to my Trim Healthy Mama cookbook!
Jeannine Moore says
I would like to know how to turn this into a batch instead o f making one at a time
Briana Thomas says
I haven’t calculated that yet, but I’m working on some cookie recipes (including a peanut butter chocolate chip version) for my upcoming cookbook. 😉
Erin Swart says
WOW! Thank you so much for the yummy recipe! I think next time it will be two servings…I am stuffed!
Susie McCreary says
I wonder if you can use almond meal or flax meal in place of the coconut? I don’t like the flavor of coconut 🙁 Anyone experiment with this?
Briana Thomas says
I don’t find that the coconut flour adds a coconut flavor, but feel free to try substituting. You would need more almond or flax meal than coconut flour because coconut flour soaks up more liquid than either of those flours.
Bri says
I had a pen-pal several years ago who I traded recipes back and forth with, and one of the ones she sent me was an “Eggless, Sugar Free, Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookie” (yes, long name, haha!) recipe, and we have used it several times! I had become strangely addicted to PB myself (I say strangely because I used to not care for it much), I want it in everything lately, haha!
Blessings,
Bri 🙂
Briana Thomas says
It’s another Bri! Hi!! Is your name short for something?
Anne says
omg this looks amazing!
Ivana says
Hi,
This recipe looks so yummy. Can’t wait to make it. By any chance do you have the calorie/fat/ etc on this recipe? Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Briana Thomas says
Hi Ivana! No, I don’t have any of the nutritional information calculated, I’m afraid.
Edith says
I made this today cause it was that kind of recipe! It made a much tastier replacement for a OMM. I would call it a pancake instead of a cookie. Added 1 tsp of coconut sugar for a brown sugar flavor and used vanilla instead of maple so as not to overpower the PB & Choc. Perfect! Plain PB was always my favorite cookie. Choc chips would have been…. unthinkable. lol
Sherilyn says
I made this this morning for breakfast. I doubled the recipe and put it in a pie pan. It was very good!! It reminded me of a pancake. Next time I may eat it with syrup drizzled on top! 🙂
Connie Vorwald says
I finally tried the PB milkshake. WOW! It was so good. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful recipes!
