Throughout quarantine, I used the extra time on my hands to hone my cooking skills and try out new recipes. Browsing TikTok for food videos became a fun hobby to pass the time while I was stuck inside. I tried lots of different recipes, but my favorite was by far the five ingredient peanut butter chocolate chip cookies originally posted by user @everdaychiffon on TikTok. I’m not the only one who became obsessed with these cookies, as the viral video has 3.1 million views with over 320,800 likes. This recipe has less than five ingredients, takes less than 15 minutes to make and is suitable for those who are gluten-free. This recipe is ideal for college students, as it contains ingredients that you probably already have in your apartment. Baking these with your roommates can be a fun, COVID-safe activity. Not only will making these help pass the time, but they are a tasty treat that is healthier and easier to make than most cookie recipes.
