I love cookies; I might be about 10 pounds lighter if I did not. Because of this fancy, I am always looking for cookie recipes that are easy and delicious. I have seen this particular recipe for flourless peanut butter cookies in several places and under several names, but I cannot say for sure whose recipe it is. This recipe is wonderful because it is easy, delicious, and safe to feed to the gluten-free families I know. This is one cookie you will never need the recipe for. With just three ingredients, you will look like a baker extraordinaire when you whip these cookies up from scratch.
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (do not use natural if it is runny)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
Directions
- Combine all three ingredients and mix together until smooth.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough into balls. Rolls balls in some sugar and place onto cookie sheet two inches apart.
- Press cookie with fork twice to make the famous peanut butter cookie hatch mark.
- Bake 10-12 minutes at 350°.
- Let cool on cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes and then remove to a cooling rack.

I've done these before – they are yummy! I like to use sucanat, and actually I used natural peanut butter that is runny when warm… but they turned out fine! Now I'm going to have to make these again…
Thanks for the input Kelsey. I made them once with runny pb and the cookies were smooshy. Maybe it depends on the degree of "runnyness".
The sucanat suggestions sounds great. 🙂

New follower from Follow me back Tuesday and BRAVO for the recipe. I was just talking to a friend who was looking for gluten free recipes and this is going straight to her!
I believe we have made something like this before we love PB and cookies are often served for dessert here thanks for sharing come see what I shared at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
I have made these cookies a few times since you have given me the recipe, and my family absolutely loves them!! I love that there are less carbs in the cookies, to bad there are a lot of calories in peanut butter. I am willing to eat those calories because I love peanut butter so much. Thanks again for sharing an amazing recipe!
These look so good, I'll have to give the recipe a try. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm you're newest follower from the bloghop. Please swing by my blog if you have a chance! And if you have a Twitter, I would love to be friends on there as well. xoxo! http://www.shelbylately.com & @shelbylatelycom
