Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cookies cool completely. (To store, keep in an airtight container, up to 3 days.)

FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix first 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Mix in chocolate chips. Using moistened hands, form generous 1 tablespoon dough for each cookie into ball. Arrange on 2 ungreased baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

• Scoop mounds of the batter onto the baking sheets using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop. Space the mounds several inches apart, so there are 6 on each sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, shiny, and cracked, 13 to 17 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 3 to 5 minutes. Gently peel the cookies off the parchment paper and move to a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining batter once the baking sheets have cooled.
