Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Flourless peanut butter cookies are an easy grain-free peanut butter cookie recipe that has only six ingredients. The cookies are chewy and slightly crisp and have amazing peanut butter flavor.

Ingredients for Peanut Butter Cookies

• Peanut butter: Use good old fashioned creamy peanut butter for this recipe. I haven’t tested the recipe with natural peanut butter, so if you do try it, let me know how it comes out!
• Granulated sugar: What is a cookie without sweetness? An impossibility.
• Brown sugar: Brown sugar is added to up the chew factor. If you don’t have brown sugar, you can substitute all granulated sugar.
• Salt: Salt brings out the flavor in the cookies. Sometimes, I sprinkle a little additional flaky salt over the cookies when they are done baking!
• Vanilla extract: Add vanilla extract for some extra flavor! Omit if you do not have it.
• Egg: It is best if the egg is at room temperature so that it mixes in well with the other ingredients. If you didn’t take out your egg, put it in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to bring it to room temperature.

How to Make Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

1. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir until a sticky dough forms.
2. Portion the dough into balls and place on a baking tray.
3. Mark the cookies with the infamous peanut butter cookie “hashtag” mark using a fork. Dip the fork in additional sugar to prevent sticking.
4. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 12 minutes.
5. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5-10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
