Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Rich, creamy peanut butter takes center stage in these scrumptious flourless cookies. With no flour needed, these treats rely on the magic of peanut butter to bind them together, resulting in a delightfully chewy and indulgent snack that’s surprisingly easy to whip up.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, and granulated sugar.

Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Beat in the egg and mix until well combined.

Add the salt and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until smooth.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Flatten the dough balls slightly with a fork or your fingers.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve warm and fresh – you should end up with 6 delicious flourless peanut butter cookies!

Notes

These cookies are quite delicate, so make sure to handle them gently when transferring them from the baking sheet to the wire rack to avoid breakage.

If you want a crisper cookie, bake for the full 12 minutes.

If you prefer a chewier cookie, stick to 10 minutes.

You can also store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, but they’re best served fresh.

If you’re looking for an extra crunchy top, try sprinkling a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
