Who doesn't love a good cookie? Fresh out of the oven or dunked in a cold glass of milk ( in my case a glass of Almond Milk) either way they are a crowd pleaser. They can be chewy or crispie, simple or extravagant. The cookie ranks up there as one of the foods I just CAN'T live without.
One night I had a craving for a peanut butter cookie my mom and I used to make when I was a little girl. This craving lead me into my kitchen very late at night to develop these little beauties.
Craving satisfied!
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Cookie Dough
Ingredients:
1/4 Cup Organic Natural Peanut-Butter
2 Ripe Bananas
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
Pinch of Salt
1 1/2 Cups Gluten Free Oats
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 Degrees. Line a baking sheet with Parchment Paper and grease with non-stick spray. I like to use extra Virgin Coconut Oil Spray.
In a Large bowl mash the Bananas with a fork. Add Peanut-Butter, Vanilla and salt to the bowl and stir until combined. Next add the Oats to the bowl and stir to combine.
Place about 2 Tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet and press flat with the back of a fork. Space the cookies about 1/2 inch apart. They donot really change much in size while baking.
Bake for 15-20 mins or until they feel dry to the touch and edges start to brown slightly.
Cool for 1 min then remove to a flat surface or cooling rack to cool.
Once cooled drizzle with Chocolate frosting ( recipe follows) and serve.
Makes 1 Dozen.
Chocolate Frosting
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons Organic Coconut Oil
1 Teaspoon Unsweetned Cocoa Powder
2 Teaspoons Organic Honey
Small pinch of Salt
Directions:
Soften the coconut oil slightly. Stir in the Cocoa Powder, Salt and Honey. It should be a thick consistency that runs slowly off of a spoon. If it is to thick warm a little in microwave, if it is to runny place in the refridegerator for a minute or two. Drizzle on top of cooled cookies.
**Keep cookies in a tightly sealed container if they are not consumed on the day you've baked them to preserve freshness. **
Optional Mix in's:
1/4 Cup Raisins
1/4 Cup Chopped Nuts
****** If you have a peanut-butter allergy you can replace the Peanut Butter with 1/4 Cup of Unsweetned Organic Applesauce*****
