When my mother (who's now a great-grandmother) gave me this no-flour , gluten-free peanut butter cookie recipe about 15 years ago, I was skeptical, because it calls for only three ingredients (and no flour?!). But since then I've never had a failure. For these gluten-free peanut butter cookies-3 ingredients are all you need! -Maggie Schimmel, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Claire Robinson's cookies only use a few ingredients but the last one, sea salt, is key as it gives them their addictive salty finish. Since the cookies are flourless, they're very tender, so let them cool awhile on the pan before moving them.

Time 20m

Yield 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and egg until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.
  • Bake until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the sheets halfway through baking. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give your cookies a smooth and velvety texture. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can use it, but be sure to chop the peanuts very finely before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will be very fragile when they are first out of the oven. Let them cool completely before serving so that they have a chance to firm up.

Conclusion:

These flourless peanut butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a quick snack or dessert. With their chewy texture and rich peanut butter flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
