Peanut Butter Cookies Flourless

Description

Today in this blog I have a recipe for you that’s a little bit different from the recipes I typically share. This peanut butter cookie recipe is super soft and chewy. Super flavorful. I’m sure you’re going to love it, but it uses no flour. It uses no butter. It uses only a handful of basic pantry staple ingredients. There’s no mixer required. 

These flourless peanut butter cookies are for peanut butter fanatics. There is so much peanut butter packed into each cookie. This is the simplest recipe you’ve ever made in your life. It’s hard to imagine that some basic and few ingredients can create so much perfection in the cookies. So you must try this recipe by yourself.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of granulated sugar 
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 1 large egg
• A teaspoon of vanilla extract 

Directions

Step 1

 Step 2

• Now we can add our remaining ingredients. You are going to need 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, though I think crunchy peanut butter would probably work just fine as well, add 1 large egg. And add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a little depth of flavor. If you do not have vanilla extract you can leave it out. And we’ll just stir everything together until it is well combined.

  Step 3

• Alright so once you have everything mixed up you’re going to want to grab a baking sheet. I like to line mine with parchment paper. It makes cleanup a lot easier, but if you don’t have parchment paper you can just scoop your cookie dough directly onto an ungreased cookie sheet. I’ll be using my 1 and 1/2 tablespoon size cookie scoop. So you’re going to flatten these cookies just a little bit before you pop them in the oven because the dough is so sticky. 
• You could use the tines of a fork to do this, like with classic peanut butter cookies, and please note that if you did not use baking soda you’re going to have to flatten the cookies a little bit more just because they are a little more resistant to spreading without the baking soda. 

Step 4

• Now, these come together so quickly you want to make sure your oven is completely preheated before you transfer them into your oven. Make sure your oven should be 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake it for 10 to 12 minutes. Make sure you do not overbake these cookies or they will be too dry when you pull your cookies out of the oven.

• They should be just barely beginning to turn golden brown around the edges.  They should still seem a little bit underbaked in the center and you’re going to want to let them cool completely on the baking sheet because they’re going to be pretty fragile while they’re still warm.

• And that is how easy it is to make these flourless, butter-less, peanut butter cookies at home. Now if you have the time I generally recommend you stick with my classic peanut butter cookie, but in a pinch these are amazing. They’re addictive and I really think you’re going to love them. They’re definitely worth the time it takes to make it. Alright if you guys try this one out please let me know what you think.
