3 Ingredient Cookies: Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe & More!

Hi Bold Bakers! What if I told you I had a recipe for you that requires just three ingredients and can be made in under five minutes? And the best thing is, these are all ingredients that you have in your house right now! Now because this is Bigger Bolder Baking I am going to show you three different recipes where you can do just that. So lets get baking! So if you follow me on social media you’ll know that I'm always out and about in LA, traveling, or working. So I eat a lot of snacks on the go. Now, on Bigger Bolder Baking, I emphasize using good quality ingredients, that’s why I'm excited to tell you that I partnered with NatureBox who have the exact same ethos. NatureBox create unique snacks that taste great and they’re better for you, they’re made with good quality ingredients and they have no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners, which is one of the things I love about them. Now, my favorite snacks are Dark Cocoa Nom Noms - it’s kind like a brownie and a truffle all mixed into one. It’s so delicious. I also love Crunchy BBQ Twists, which are lentil chips. And another one is Santa Fe Corn Stix, I love these because they’re a little bit spicy. Now, they also make amazing jerky but I cant show it to you ‘cause I already ate it and I wasn’t supposed to do that. But anyway. On their website, NatureBox.com, they have over 100 snacks over there and they add new ones every single month, so you’ll never get bored. Now here is the best part: NatureBox have very kindly offered my Bold Bakers three free snacks with your first order. All you have to do is go to NatureBox.com/Gemma. They will deliver them straight to your door, and if you don’t like your snacks, they will replace it for free. Now, all of this information can be found in the description box below the video. Now, unfortunately for right now, this offer is only available to US residents. Okay, now lets get started on our recipes. So the first recipe were going to make, believe it is or not, is a three ingredient oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. It tastes so amazing. All you need are some rolled oats, some bananas, and then chocolate chips. So the first thing were gonna do is mash our bananas in a bowl with a fork. Mash up your banana until it’s really fine and then there’s no lumps. We wanna get it nice and mushy. Lovely. Ok now into this were going to add in rolled oats and some chocolate chips. Now at this point you might be thinking to yourself, “Gemma’s gone crazy!” And there’s no way these are gonna make cookies. Well, it does because the banana acts as your egg and as your butter and it bakes just like it. And our oats are going to be similar to our flour. The best thing about these cookies is that it doesn’t contain any gluten because oats don’t have gluten. Also, there’s no egg, and there’s no added sugar so it’s a really good cookie for you. And, made in less than five minutes. Now I'm gonna scoop this guy onto our tray. So I like to do a big scooped tablespoon of cookie mix and then straight onto your tray lined with parchment paper. Now, I love chocolate chip cookies but the thing about it is, you don’t want chocolate chips, you can put raisins in there, even add a little bit of cinnamon, whatever you like. Okay, that’s it, our cookies are done, just so you know, these guys wont spread out too much so you want to give them a little pat down and flatten out. I mean seriously, three ingredients, five-minute cookies, come on, nothing better than this. Okay, these guy are looking great, they’re ready to be baked off. Bake these little beauties off at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius for roughly 15-20 minutes. Our cookies are out of the oven they smell absolutely delicious. Now, as you can see, these cookies actually don’t brown a whole lot, but that’s okay, that’s the nature of them. They just look like this on the outside and as they go cold they, they firm um a little bit. So they’ve cooled down a little bit so I'm gonna crack one open. This looks delicious. Mmm. The crazy thing about these cookies is that they’re gluten free, they are egg free, they have no added fat, all natural sugars, oh man, if you leave out these chocolate chips and add in dairy-free chocolate chips they also make great vegan cookies. I have to say these cookies were a great success. Now, I hope you like coconut, ‘cause that is our next recipe. So in our next three-ingredient recipe we are going to make coconut macaroons. You know those lovely mounds with the chocolate on the bottom, I love them, and you can make them with just three ingredients: some shaved coconut, or desiccated coconut, some condensed milk, and some chocolate. Just like the other cookie, whip it all together and bake it off. So into our bowl add in coconut, followed by our condensed milk, and then mix it all together with a spatula. So now this is another great cookie recipe that doesn’t require egg or flour. Really, really easy. So traditionally coconut macaroons have egg whites in them, but the condensed milk in this recipe eliminates the need for that. Okay that it, I go back to what I said, five minute cookies in no time. These guys are ready to go onto our baking tray. To shape, scoop a nice heaped tablespoon of your macaroon mix and then just place it on your tray, leaving a little bit of space between them. Now, I know these are really easy recipe to remember, but the quantities and all the instructions can be found on my website, BiggerBolderBaking.com. Okay, we are done with another cookie. No time at all. These guys are ready to be baked off. Bake your coconut macaroons off at 350 degree Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius, for roughly 15-20 minutes. So here are our coconut macaroons, can you believe how gorgeous they look? They're golden brown on top, they smell amazing, I just adore coconut so much. There's something about it that leaves me wanting more. These beautiful, I like how they kept as well. Now, traditionally these guys are served with a little bit of chocolate on the bottom so now that they're nice and cooled, that's our next step. So here I have a bowl of melted chocolate, and I've got myself some forks. I'm just gonna go ahead and dip the bottom of the macaroon into the chocolate. You just want to dip the bottom, you don't want it to go too far up the sides. Just like so. And then scrape off any excess chocolate, and then put it onto your rack so it can dry off. And then go ahead and just keep on dipping. One of the biggest requests I get are recipes without eggs so I'm really glad that I'm able to bring you two cookies that have no eggs in them so that more people can enjoy them. Okay, our macaroons are looking fantastic, and I can tell that this guy over here is dry, so I can give him a taste. Oh yum. Yum, yum, yum. I just love coconut, so tasty. It's nice and thick, squishy, a little bit of sweetness from the condensed milk, mmm, mmm, mmm. I really, really love this one, but I think I might have actually saved the best to last. So I really hope you like peanut butter. So now, get this! I am going to show you how you can make the best peanut butter cookie you've ever had with three simple ingredients. Peanut butter, sugar, and an egg. So into our bowl I'm gonna add in my peanut butter. Now, you can use chunky or smooth peanut butter, also, you can use any kind of a nut butter you like. That will work well too. Follow your peanut butter with some sugar, and then one egg. And then just combine all these together. So now like the other cookies, this cookies doesn't contain flour, however it does contain an egg, and we cant substitute that out, we need that in these cookies. Okay, there you go. Another cookie mixed under five minutes. Nice and soft. Now were gonna scoop him onto our baking tray. Just like the other cookies, I like to do a heaped tablespoon of batter. Make ‘em nice and big. Okay, so now they're all scooped. Now were gonna get that lovely traditional look that you usually see on a peanut butter cookie. You need two forks, and all you want to do is just press one down on top, then go across it the other way. So just do a criss-cross. And then just keep on going all the way around. And press down your cookies a little bit so they spread out more when they bake. So now I want you to hang around to see these once they come out of the oven ‘cause I'm telling you they're the best cookies ever. Okay, gorgeous! Made all pretty, good to go, time to bake ‘em off! Bake your cookies at 350 Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius for roughly 15-20 minutes. Here we are, out of the oven if you could only smell my kitchen right now, oh it smells heavenly! Now, I love to eat peanut butter cookies warm, so I'm just gonna break this guy in half and just show you how delicious and buttery he is on the inside. It's not cakey ‘cause it has no flour in it, its soft, absolutely delicious. Mmm, oh yeah. I mean, seriously, takes no time at all to make. Now, I just showed you how three completely different cookies out of simple household ingredients.
