Peanut Butter Cookies {Flourless}

3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies {Flourless}

 Servings: 15

Prep Time 8 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 18 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 cup (236g) creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup (100g) granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 18 by 13-inch baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. In a small bowl beat egg with a fork just to blend yolk and white.
3. Add peanut butter, granulated sugar and beaten egg to a medium mixing bowl.
4. Stir mixture with a wooden spoon until well blended.
5. Scoop mixture out using a medium cookie scoop (or using two spoons, one to scoop and one to drop dough, make about 1 1/2 Tbsp each).
6. Drop onto prepared baking sheets spacing 2-inches apart.
7. Grease bottom side of prongs of a fork (not a must if you don't have non-stick cooking spray it's just reduces sticking a little) and lightly press down on cookies using fork prongs to flatten slightly. Lift fork and turn opposite direction and repeat to create criss cross pattern.
8. Bake cookies, one sheet at a time, until slightly puffed and slightly golden brown on edges, about 10 - 11 minutes.
9. Let cool on baking sheet 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Recipe Notes

Possible Variations

There are a few things you can add here to add more flavor if you’d like (not that they aren’t great as is but a little boost doesn’t hurt either):

• Add 1 cup chocolate chips (press cookie dough balls down slightly with the bottom of a greased cup, rather than a fork).
• Stir in 1 tsp vanilla with other ingredients.
• Optionally add 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
• Reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup if you want them a little less sweet. If you want them extra sweet roll in granulated sugar before flattening.
• Try with cashew butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter in place of peanut butter.
