Fooled Me Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies



I love peanut butter cookies. They're soft, chewy, and full of peanut butter flavor. But I also love gluten-free baking. So when I found a recipe for flourless peanut butter cookies, I was intrigued.

These cookies are made with only a few simple ingredients: peanut butter, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and salt. There's no flour, so they're naturally gluten-free. And they're so easy to make! Just mix everything together, scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, and bake.

The first time I made these cookies, I was skeptical. I didn't think they would be as good as regular peanut butter cookies. But I was wrong! They were delicious! They were soft and chewy, and they had the perfect amount of peanut butter flavor.

I've made these cookies several times since then, and they've always been a hit. They're perfect for a quick and easy snack, or for a special occasion. And they're sure to fool anyone who doesn't know they're gluten-free!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  6. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet.

  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

  • For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.

  • For a more intense peanut butter flavor, use natural peanut butter.

  • To add chocolate chips, stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips before baking.

Enjoy!
