Dark & Chewy Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies – gluten free #RecipeRefurb

Check out these Dark & Chewy Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies. They are a favourite recipe of mine. Sweet, chocolatey, peanutty, chewy yumciousness which are incredibly simple to make. You can knock up a batch in about half an hour, if you work with speedy hands.

I have recently been revisiting old recipes and whilst doing so, have been updating a few photographs. Some of my earlier photos were so cruddy, that making recipes again seems a great opportunity for a revamp. Midge over at Peachicks Bakery has also been doing a few updates under the hashtag #RecipeRefurb, so I thought I would join her!

A couple of weeks ago, I made a double batch of these cookies for a Unit team day at work. They went down a storm with lots of colleagues telling me they needed the recipe. I’m not surprised. They are laden with oodles of crunchy peanut butter and cocoa and stuffed full of chocolate chips. Let’s face it…. there’s no better combo than chocolate and peanut for sheer indulgence and cookie comfort.

When I devised the recipe, it was loosely based on my earlier Peanut Chocolate-Chip Biscuits, but these cookies are much softer, spread further when baked and have had the flour removed and replaced with a cocoa hit. Each batch makes 18 to 20 cookies which should go a long way, but be warned….. they are totally addictive…. They don’t last over at the Gluten Free Alchemist….

Dark & Chewy Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies (makes 18 to 20 cookies)

Ingredients

140g soft light brown sugar
25g cocoa powder
¾ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
150g crunchy peanut butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg – lightly beaten
100g dark chocolate chunks/chips

Method

  1. Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180 C/350 F/ Gas 4.
  3. Weigh and mix together the sugar, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda, ensuring any lumps of sugar are completely broken down.
  4. Add the peanut butter, vanilla and egg and stir thoroughly until the mixture is well-combined and even.
  5. Add the chocolate chunks and mix again until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Divide the dough into approximately 14 even-sized portions, rolling into balls with your hands.
  7. Flatten each ball slightly between the palms of your hands and place on the baking sheets allowing room for spreading between each.
  8. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, swapping the trays around in the oven half way through cooking to ensure an even bake.
  9. Remove from the oven and leave on the trays for about 10 minutes until the cookies are firm enough to transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    They look amazing and so inviting with all those lovely little cracks on them. I have to say it's a couple of years since I've made peanut butter cookies and so definitely time I revisited them. I'm also slowly going through and trying to remake some of my old recipes – It's hard to find time but so worth it! I'll have to try and remember the hashtag next time I remake something, although with the holidays coming up it might not be until September now! Thanks for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice x

    Wow Kate, these look amazing – somehow I find the cracks which develop as cookies bake is very inviting…and the flavour – well i can certainly understand why they soon disappeared.
    I definitely need to do some #RecipeRefurb too

    these look so good – I was a stack of them – am sure they would not last long at my house!

    and I know the feeling of wanting to update photos – occasionally I return to my favourite photos and give them an update, but not as much as I would like

      Thanks Johanna. They are really good….. I am quite glad I had a load of people to share them with, or I probably would have eaten them all! x

Who needs a perfect Carrot 🥕 Cake? Swipe to see Who needs a perfect Carrot 🥕 Cake? Swipe to see just how amazing it looks inside 😆. It’s super-moist gluten free deliciousness and would be brilliant for Mother’s Day or Easter. What do you reckon? Special enough for your Mum?
This recipe was literally developed originally for one of my followers who needed it for a special celebration. The feedback was super-good and I have to agree. It’s the best gluten free carrot cake I’ve ever had... and it’s certainly up there with the best of the gluten versions too. So if you love carrot cake... this one’s for you 😘.
You know me... If it’s not as good as I can possibly get, it doesn’t leave my kitchen xx
Grab the recipe from the blog 🥕💜🎁

Are Hot Cross Buns without fruit allowed? I think Are Hot Cross Buns without fruit allowed?
I think the answer may just be YES! Even when you’re gluten free 😆. And for all those who asked whether my Incredible Hot Cross Bun recipe could be made with Chocolate Chips instead of fruit? The evidence is undeniable. 
LOOK at these babies! Big... fat... glorious... chocolate chip Hot Cross Buns 😊😘😋👏😁
Yes or no???

Have you ever tried a Goose Egg? 🥚 They are tot Have you ever tried a Goose Egg? 🥚
They are totally yummy with monster yolks that are super-rich and creamy. Each egg is equivalent to 3 to 4 hens eggs. And they make the most incredible Goose Egg Scotch Eggs 😍
They have a really short season from about the end of February to June. And the geese have just started laying. 
We’re really lucky to get our eggs from a wonderful free-range supplier and they always let us know when goose eggs are available. You can use them for usual baking too... I totally recommend them for brownies.
I’ve put a recipe for making Goose Egg Scotch Eggs on the blog... If you see any eggs..: grab them while you can 😘

The ULTIMATE gluten free Hot Cross Buns... When wa The ULTIMATE gluten free Hot Cross Buns... When was the last time you had a perfect Hot Cross Bun? Easter all wrapped up in  a delicious fluffy, spiced, doughy ball, stuffed full of juicy fruit. Best buns ever! No one will ever know these babies are gluten free 😁
I am super proud of this recipe. I honestly didn’t think it was possible to create a gluten free bun with such an incredible texture... and I really didn’t think it was possible to create a Hot Cross Bun that would stay fresh enough to eat 48+ hours after baking... No toaster needed. 😊
But I’ve done it. I’ve pulled it out of the bag. Amazing 👏👏👏
Heads up... When I first started on developing this recipe, I truly wanted to make a simple one-bowl job. But that wasn’t possible. Texture and flavour were the absolute priority and this ultimately meant the recipe had to be carefully crafted  to make this happen. If you want the best, you sometimes have to work a little bit harder. 
But no word of a lie... these are SO worth the effort. 
Even better, I’ve worked out the dough can be frozen part way through the process... which means you can split the batch ready to bake up fresh with little effort later ☑️
Who wants the recipe?

Have you ever tried porridge made with Millet Flak Have you ever tried porridge made with Millet Flakes? I really like it. It makes a nice change from oats and is a great alternative for anyone who can’t eat oats too.
It’s got a nice earthy bite and pairs perfectly with fruit and nuts. I always sprinkle a few cacao nibs on my porridge too. It’s funny how we have ‘must haves’ to go with some foods. 
Have you got a favourite porridge topping?  #porridge #glutenfreeporridge #milletporridge #porridgebowl #porridgewithfruits #cookedtoperfection #porridgewithoutoats #glutenfreeuk #breakfastideas #cookblogshare #coeliacsafe #coeliacuk #porridgeporn #forkyeah #tastemademedoit #eeeeats #instafood #foodporn #foodphotography #healthyfood #healthybowl #porridgepassion #foodblogger
