Peanut Butter Cookies and they are Flourless!

peanut butter cookie

Flour-less baking may be my next obsession. I saw this recipe on Pinterest and on a whim decided to try it. There were doubts in my head that it would turn out good. Who ever thought you could bake a cookie with no flour? But, it actually turned out fantastic, even better than my old peanut butter cookie recipe (that I have yet to post). I did make some modifications to the original recipe, so be sure to follow my instructions to ensure a great batch.

pb cookie ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Peanut Butter (Creamy is preferred)
  • 3/4 cup White Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • dash of Salt
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (optional)

Preheat the oven for 350 degrees. Mix the ingredients together in the order they are listed above. Do not use a mixer! Just use a spoon and your own strength. Make 1 inch balls of dough and slightly flatten them (see photo above). Place the doughballs on a cookie sheet with about an inch space between and bake for 8-9 minutes. Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for one minute before transferring them to a cooling rack.
