Spicy Peanut Chocolate Cookies


No flour in this quick-to-make cookie recipe! Chili powder gives these cookies an unexpected (but delicious) flavor twist. Chili powder, when added to the diet regularly, can help to ease digestion, reduce headaches and arthritis pain, as well as help prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 4 teaspoons chili powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. 
  2. Combine all ingredients, except chocolate chips, in a food processor until smooth. Add chocolate chips and pulse to distribute. 
  3. Form 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Press each ball in a crisscross pattern with a fork. 
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then move to a rack to cool completely. 
Makes approximately 15 cookies.
