Last Sunday our family finally had some free time to do some exploring around our new home in Moab. We chose a kid-friendly hike just minutes from our house and I loved every moment of it. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to the beauty of this place.

Before we headed out the door I baked up a quick batch of flourless peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies for us to enjoy along the trail. I shared a photo on instagram and facebook and you guys went nuts. “We want the recipe!”

Well friends, here it is.

It’s actually just these flourless peanut butter cookies with the addition of mini chocolate chips. I’m sure you’ve already seen this recipe floating around on the web, and I only wish I could take credit for it. It originally came from Gourmet Magazine and then made its way onto just about every food blog on the internet (including this one, see link above).

Only 4 ingredients. No mixer required. And it also happens to be naturally gluten-free. What’s not to love?

If the recipe isn’t already in your arsenal, better add it now. The original recipe doesn’t call for chocolate chips, but now that I’ve put them in I don’t think I can ever go back. Peanut butter and chocolate just belong together, you know?
