No-Flour Peanut Butter Cookies
You can never have too many peanut butter cookie recipes, and these flourless cookies are some of the best! One bowl, no mixer, and just four main ingredients: peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. What sets this recipe apart from many other peanut butter cookie recipes is that there’s no flour and no butter, making them naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. Since there’s no butter and no flour what you’re left with is a cookie that’s full of bold, robust peanut butter flavor. These simple peanut butter cookies have a lovely chewiness around the edges and are perfectly soft and tender in the middle. Don’t be tempted to overbake them, because they won’t taste nearly as good.
Ingredients in Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
To make these peanut butter cookies with no flour, you’ll need:
Egg – I haven’t tested substituting the egg in this recipe and don’t recommend it. Creamy peanut butter – to switch up the flavor of this recipe, use honey roasted peanut butter instead of regular. You want to use Jif, Skippy, or similar rather than natural or homemade peanut butter. Sometimes natural versions work fine but not always; classic peanut butter is more trustworthy Light brown sugar Granulated sugar Vanilla extract Baking soda Salt
