EASY TASTY HEALTHY (ISH) FLOURLESS 2 WAY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Easy Tasty Healthy (Ish) Flourless 2 Way Peanut Butter Cookies image

These are great and so simple you'll want to make them again and again. Adding the oats will give you a denser texture and make the cookies slightly more filling and you can serve them warm after they have half cooled. I do urge you to try them without the oats, they have an amazing light crumbly texture and a more concentrated flavour. In this case you must wait for the cookies to cool completely before removing them from the tray.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: This will help the cookies achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking is essential, as it helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking can dry out the cookies. Bake them until they are just set in the center and still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These flourless peanut butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for peanut butter lovers. They are gluten-free, making them a great option for those with gluten sensitivities. With their rich peanut butter flavor and chewy texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
