Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Thanks to my friend Audrey Smith for this yummy flourless cookie recipe.

Beat one egg. Add 1 cup brown sugar and mix well. Stir in 1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth). Add 1 teaspoon baking soda and mix well. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes, until edges begin to turn brown. Cool five minutes. Remove carefully to wire racks. These cookies are fragile but very yummy.
