Makes 2 dozen small cookies
These cookies are dairy free – and use only quinoa flour which you can find at specialty food stores or at kingarthurflour.com. I used Seek&Bee ‘s Bourbon infused honey but any strong honey will work. Don’t be fooled by the use of only quinoa flour – they taste just like your old fashioned peanut butter cookies – maybe even better!
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 TBSP water
- 3 TBSP honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup quinoa flour
- 1⁄2 tsp baking soda
- 1⁄4 tsp salt
- 3⁄4 cup bittersweet chocolate chunks or chips
- Flakey sea salt (optional)
- Pre heat oven to 350F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine the first seven ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Add the flour, salt and baking soda. Stir to combine.
- Stir in chocolate chunks.
- Scoop by the tablespoon onto baking sheets. Flatten slightly and sprinkle with salt if desired. Bake 11-13 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan. They are very fragile when warm, but they are really good eaten warm too!
