while we're on the subject of flourless cookies (i swear, HOW did i not know about this stuff?!) here's another one for you! and let me just reiterate that i'm totally into this flourless cookie thing because they also happen to not contain a great deal of added fats, so i can feel pretty awesome about eating them.
so apparently, these flourless peanut butter cookies have been an internet sensation for quite some time but i didn't discover them until a recent thekitchn post. these cookies are dangerously easy to make and quite yummy. if you don't like peanut butter, these might not be the cookies for you. a couple of pointers when making these cookies:
- don't smush them down too flat! i may or may not have done this and some of my cookies turned out rather biscuit like (not necessarily a bad thing). if you leave them a bit thicker, you'll get a chewy center. mmmm.
- i added chocolate chips to some of the tops of mine. definitely recommended: peanut butter and chocolate, you just can't go wrong.
makes 18 cookies
- 1 cup peanut butter (ALWAYS natural chunky peanut butter. i also happened to use salted because that's what i had, which was fine, but i wouldn't necessarily recommend it).
- 3/4 cup natural cane sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- additional sugar for rolling
- preheat oven to 375.
- mix all the ingredients up in a bowl. roll walnut-sized pieces into balls and roll balls in the additional sugar.
- place on a parchment-lined (or foil-whatever you have) baking sheet and flatten slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
- push chocolate chips into dough
- bake for 10 minutes. remove and let cool before removing from baking sheet.
