Gluten Free Recipes: Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut Butter Cookies: flour-less & gluten-free, but also delicious!

So, I went through about 3 jars of peanut butter this week because I wanted to try out a few different flour-less peanut butter cookie recipes. Good thing they are so easy and quick to whip up! I made a few tweaks and tried a few different things, but this is the recipe that I like the best so far. Great texture, great flavor. Gluten-free with ingredients you probably already have!

Recipe adapted from America’s Test Kitchen Quick Family Cookbook and Make and Takes.

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Topping Ideas:

• Reese's Pieces
• crushed peanuts
• M&Ms

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C.
• In a medium or large bowl, lightly whisk the egg.
• Whisk the sugars and vanilla in with the egg until combined. Set aside to let sugars dissolve a bit.
• Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
• Measure out the remaining ingredients. (I like to spray my measuring cup before adding peanut butter.)
• Stir the peanut butter into the sugar mixture until smooth. Then stir in the salt and baking soda.
• Working with about 1 Tbsp of dough for each cookie, place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
• Lightly flatten the balls with the palm of your hand. If using toppings, gently press the toppings onto the top of each cookie.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating half way through.
• Edges should be set and starting to brown slightly.
• Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes.
• Transfer to wire rack.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
