This is one of those recipes that just "happened." It was lunch time and I needed a bite of sweet after my meal. I had in my mind a peanut butter cookie that you could make in the microwave. (Sorry, purists! But I'm a drive-through Sue! Of course, this can also be baked in the oven).
I threw a few ingredients together, and behold, this cookie was born! Now, I know there are a lot of large single-serve cookies floating around, but I actually have not looked at any of them! So this recipe was not based on any of them, but rather on my desperation for a quick dessert!
Now, I understand, 2 minutes may be a bit of a stretch. It cooks for one minute -- so that only gives you one minute to mix all the ingredients. But seriously, this is SO FAST!
When I made it again this morning for photographs, my kids gobbled it up so quickly that my husband didn't even get a taste! Actually, my 8 year old daughter made three more of them for herself, her brother, and her daddy. So you can see that this is a simple recipe! She so enjoyed it (and did quite well, I might add)!
This is a very soft cookie - it reminds me somewhat of the soft-batch style of cookies.
So, what do you need for this recipe?
1 Tablespoon Natural Creamy Peanut Butter (No Sugar Added)
1 Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted
1 Tablespoon Gentle Sweet (or ½ Tablespoon Pyure)
½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Tablespoon Baking Blend
1 Tablespoon Lily's Chocolate Chips
Mix all ingredients together. Fold a piece of parchment paper and place it on a microwave safe plate. Pour the cookie dough onto the parchment and microwave for 1 minute. Flip cookie over onto a plate and cut into pieces. If you want to use your oven instead, just bake at 350 for 15 minutes or so.

Hi, just made one this morning. It's really good! I did add about 2 teaspoons of PB2 to mine. Would that still be THM friendly? Thanks!!
dsdjhardy
I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Unfortunately, PB2 has added sugar. THM has a peanut flour that is amazing. When I do not have their product, I use JIF peanut powder, which can be found at most Walmarts. 🙂 You can find it near the peanut butter.
Pat
Unfortunately both JIF peanut powder and PB2 have 1g sugar-- according to the packages I have. I do appreciate recipe cause very easy to put together and will microwave in small round pyrex as if a mug cake. Cause honestly I was ready for a cookie and got a pancake instead. Weather soft cookie, pancake or mug cake--flavor is good!!!
Benny
Pat, while JIF peanut powder does indeed have 2g sugar, it does not contain any added sugar, just like the THM Pressed Peanut flower. PB2 actually has added sugar and added salt.
Brenda
Curious how this would work in a waffle maker?
Sarah Hardy
I have never personally tried it, but others have and it turned out ok!
Carissa
This came out like a pancake..about the same texture as those believe it or not chocolate cookies. I liked it though. I will team it with berries next time. This will go great with eggs and bacon too!
Sarah Hardy
My family regularly eats this as a pancake with sugar free syrup and whipped cream. I think I may need to change the title of the recipe . . . . . 🙂
Diana
I made it with almond butter (out of peanut) and sprinkled a bit of Swerve confectioners sugar...DELISH! Really hit the spot!
jane
Can this be made with flour, I do not have baking blend?
Sarah Hardy
When I am out of the baking blend, I use equal amounts of almond flour, coconut flour, and flax meal.
Susan Osborn
I love this recipe! Has anyone thought to make it into a ready to use mix? Just add wet ingredients and X Tbsp. of mix? If not, I think it's something I will try to do.

Boy, was that delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Tara
Tonight I was craving for something sweet. I needed it in a jiffy for a midnight snack (with a wide awake baby). This was a perfect recipe and I had everything on the list in the pantry. After the microwave: I didn’t realize it would look cakey, BUT it turned out sooooo good! I just shared your link with the THM: ASL facebook group (deaf THM mama here). Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! This will definitely be a make again when I need something to whip up to satisfy my sweet tooth!
Sarah Hardy
I am so glad you loved it, Tara!
Sandy Meyer
Finally, a THM friendly pancake that I enjoy🙂I used almond butter instead of peanut butter, added a tablespoon of collagen & a pinch of salt and baked it in my mini cast iron pan. Yum!
Jen
Soooooo good! Just tried this for the first time a couple days ago and it is now in my quick easy snack rotation!!
Sandra Kraus
I love this recipe! I use it all the time either for the cookie or a pancake where I swap out the chocolate and peanut butter for blueberries...delicious!
Paige
This was so delicious! It kinda reminded me of a single serve peanut butter cookie from briana thomas.

I made this as a mug cake and it was extremely satisfying. Perfect way to finish off my S meal dinner, and I will definitely be making it again. I've had to alter some THM dessert recipes in the past, but not this one. Really good as is. Thanks!
Sarah Hardy
Mmmmm! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Rebecca Barber
Saved a step and a dish by just microwaving this in the bowl. Thanks. Just what I needed tonight
Janice Bihn
Just tried this!!! Yummy and satisfying.
