Description

These Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies are a simple and delicious treat that’s perfect for those who are gluten-free or just love peanut butter. With a chewy texture and a hint of sweetness, these cookies are easy to make and even easier to enjoy.


Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Cookies:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until smooth. Fold in the mini chocolate chips if desired.
  3. Shape and Bake: Roll tablespoon-sized portions of dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are set but centers are still slightly soft.
  4. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • These cookies are naturally gluten-free.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For extra crunch, use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy.
