Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Flour is an essential ingredient when baking. It provides structure, texture and flavor. With that said, these cookies are creamy and melt-in-your-mouth.

This recipe is 100% kid friendly. Enjoy!



Adapted from The Gourmet Cookbook (from Joy the Baker)

1 cup all-natural chunky or smooth peanut butter
1 cup sugar (1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar)
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2) Grease a baking sheet with butter and set aside.
3) In a mixer combine peanut butter and sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes.
4) Add egg and baking soda and mix for another 2 minutes.
5) Roll into walnut sized balls and create a cris-cross pattern with a fork.
*If you’d like, add a few chocolate pieces to the top of the cookies. Bake for 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
6) Cool on a baking sheet for two minutes, then transfer to cooling rack
