Flourless Peanut butter Cookies

1 C. Peanut Butter chunky or creamy ( I use skippy Brand)

1 C. Packed light or dark brown sugar (I use C & H brand)

1 Large Egg, slightly beaten

1 tsp. baking soda

1C Semisweet chocolate chips 6oz. (I use tollhouse brand)

Heat oven to 350 deg.

In Medium size bowl beat together peanut butter, brown sugar, egg and soda until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Stirr in chips until evenly distributed.

Drop the dough by slightly rounded teaspoonfulls onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing the mounds about 2 inches apart.

bake one baking sheet at a time in the 350 deg. oven until cookies are puffed and slightly golden, but still soft to the touch. About 10 min.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for about 5 min. Then transfer the cookies to the wire rack; let cool completely.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies

My family LOVED these cookies....they didn't last long. They were VERY easy to make.

Another recipe for flourless peanut butter cookies that my mom started making for me as a child and now i make for myself and family:

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup of sugar

1 egg

1 tablespoon of vanilla.

Mix all ingredients together. Roll into balls and put on cookie sheet. flatten out with a fork and bake at 325 degrees for about 13 minutes.

Yummy yummy! Makes about 1 1/2 dozen.

Ohmigosh. I just made these -- the first recipe, but then I thought the vanilla in the second recipe was a good idea so I added some vanilla -- and they were SO good. I can't stop eating them. Do they freeze well? If they do, I'm totally going to keep a batch in the freezer at all times so I can just pull one cookie at a time out to snack on, rather than making a batch and eating it all in the first day or two. Thank you for the recipe!

I don't know how well they will freeze. I haven't tried to freeze them yet. I'm not sure they would keep their soft squishy melt-in-your-mouth consistency after being in the freezer. Let me know if you try to freeze some and see how they turn out.

I didn't have enough to even put in the freezer after my family got ahold of them! ha :D

It would probably be better to freeze the dough in smaller serving sizes and then thaw and bake whenever you want some. I do this with choc. chip and sugar cookies and they turn out fine.

God bless,

You know what I do with chocolate chip cookies? I freeze them and then when I want one, rather than defrosting it in the microwave, I put it in the toaster. It kind of gives it that warm-from-the-oven taste and texture much better than the microwave. So I froze a few of the peanut butter cookies and I'll try defrosting them each way and see what if anything works.

I live alone, and I don't want to be eating a whole batch every time I just want one cookie!

Ok. I have completed my experiment. You can freeze these cookies. Straight from the freezer they're cold (duh) and crunchy but they taste fine. The microwave and the toaster turn out to be about equally good ways to warm them. They retain a little crunchy/chewiness but they also get soft and melty in the middle.

I am very full now. :P But happy. But kind of wondering what the scale will say in the morning. :rolleyes:

When I was not a member, I saw this recipe a long time ago. I should have posted then, but am posting now. This is a very good cookie. I used it for a long time but have since lost it. I didn't think I'd ever find it again. It was just here, just like that! I didn't even get frustrated looking for it. I am going to make them right now. To the woman who posted this recipe... it is very good. Thankyou. :P

I can't do dairy or soya so it's near impossible to find chocolate chips I can have... and even then, I'm not a huge chocolate fan anyhow.

but that would be what, like 100 or 150 g of choc chips?

I just pour a few in, stir it up & then see if it looks like how many I want. I like less. My hub was making them last night, so he chose how many to put in....you can barely get any cookie with your choc chips. :D

You could add some peanuts if you wanted. I saw some Dairy & soy free choc chips but I'm in Kansas and I think you are having your adventure in Ireland? Can you get PB easily there? I know someone who went years ago & brought thier own from the US.

This is the recipe I use:

PB is easy to find! other kinds of nut butters are too expensive tho, except maybe sunflower seed butter that I found in one shop in the city centre. there's plenty of gluten-free stuff but I haven't found any chocolate that's dairy AND soya free. not that I'm looking.

haha I don't even have food scales, I just get like 500 grams of sugar, and I'm like, "okay, like a third of this" or whatever when I see recipes

I use chunky peanut butter to get all those chunks in it. I fed these cookies to some friends and the landlady yesterday and today! they are a huge hit! and they can't even tell there's no flour in

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Levi, How are you doing?  Sorry I missed your posts.   How's your thyroid?  Did your Vitamin D stabilize?  Do you have long hauler syndrome after Covid? Consider switching to Vitamin D 3, the natural form of Vitamin D.  Vitamin D 2 is the synthetic form of Vitamin D which the body can have difficulty changing to an active form.  Also, Thiamine is needed to active Vitamin D.   Hypothyroidism can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  The thyroid is an organ that uses lots of thiamine.  sometimes thyroid deficiency can also cause hyperthyroidism, or swings between both hyper- and hypo-thyroidism. We need more Thiamine when we're sick with an infection (like Covid) or injured.  We need more Thiamine when we're physically active.  We need more Thiamine when we're emotionally stressed or worried.  Our brain uses the more Thiamine just thinking than our muscles do while running a marathon.  Thiamine is extremely important in fighting infections.  Covid patients and long haulers have found taking Thiamine has improved their survival rate and long term symptoms.   Consider taking a Thiamine supplement like Benfotiamine which has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.  Damaged villi need thiamine to grow back.   Be sure to take a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  You also need magnesium to keep calcium in the bones.  The thyroid regulates calcium.  A wonky thyroid can lead to reduced bone density.   Remember the B vitamins all work together in concert so adding a B Complex to Benfotiamine and magnesium supplements and Vitamin C would be great in improving absorption of nutrients while we're dealing with celiac disease.

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      I'm looking for bars or non perishable snacks for my 2 kids. They are 5 and 3. The 3 year old seems sensitive to oats also. We do a lot of long hikes and bike rides. They eat mostly fresh foods but for these rides and hikes we need easy and non perishable. Also that taste good! We do a lot of larabars and freeze dried apples but those are getting old. Any ideas?

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Oh, @MagsM, Sorry you had that happen with Niacin.  500mg is the maximum amount of Niacin one should take.  Niacin works hand in hand with Thiamine, so a big influx like that can imbalance thiamine if not supplemented at the same time.  All the B vitamins work together in concert.  Niacin in doses at 500 mg or above have been used by doctors to lower triglycerides levels and raise HDL, the good cholesterol.  Pharmaceuticals to do the same thing are more expensive and thus more profitable for physicians. Has your doctor tested you for H. Pylori?  An infection by H. Pylori can be tested for by your doctor.  H. Pylori can cause low tTg IgA results, too.   I would hold off on the microbiome test for now.  Your microbiome is going to change when you go gluten free.  Your microbiome will change when you start taking Thiamine.  Thiamine supplementation influences which microbes grow in the intestines, encouraging beneficial bacteria and getting rid of the bad ones.  Thiamine in the form Benfothiamine promotes intestinal healing, too.  Adopting the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself) after diagnosis will also change your microbiome.  This is the best diet to heal and recover, IMO.   If you're going to have more testing done for vitamin deficiencies, don't take vitamin supplements beforehand, otherwise the tests will measure the vitamin supplements in your bloodstream and give false results.  Same thing will happen if you take B vitamin shots.  The supplements you mentioned (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) are herbal support and do not contain all eight B vitamins.  There's no harm in taking them, but I prefer a B Complex that contains all the B vitamins in activated forms like Life Extension's Bioactive Complete B Complex.  All the B vitamins work together in concert.  Magnesium is important to supplement as thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  Do not buy supplements containing Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not biologically active.  It is very hard for the body to utilize.  Most of it (70%) passes out unused.    Yes, my Meniere's disease has not returned.  I was deficient in Vitamin D.  I took high doses of Vitamin D 3 to correct the deficiency quickly.  I also took TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which is a form of thiamine different from Benfotiamine.  TTFD can cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier, so it can get into the brain very easily.  TTFD helps the Vagus nerve function.  The Vagus nerve regulates the ears and balance, and also the digestive system.  I like Allithiamine by Ecological Formulas.  I also like Thiamax by Objective Nutrients.  You should have improvements within a hour with TTFD.  TTFD is much stronger, so lower doses will give amazing benefits (50-200 mg).   I hope this helps give you some direction to take on your journey!

      Thank you so much for this in depth analysis. I am currently taking Vit D3/K2 5000IU daily.i started taking a flushing Niacin but foolishly took a 500mg tab and nearly passed out! I have just ordered a gut microbiome genome test and it will be interesting to see what my current balance of microbes are. After I finish diagnosis I will definitely go gluten free. Diagnosis will inform exactly how strict I’ll need to be regarding cross contamination etc. my focus will be on healing the gut. I have also been focusing on the oral microbiome - cutting out FL and using more natural products as well as daily oil pulling. I read from some of your other forum entries about Benfothiamine and I’ll definitely order that. I’ll make sure my doc orders more detailed vitamin and mineral panel plus total IGA as well as the DGP-IGA and DGP-IGG tests. We will see if I can get the endoscopic biopsy done. Do you think I should request Vitamin B shots to get me started?  My daily vitamin protocol will likely be VitD/K2 5000IU, Benfothiamin 300x2, Niacin (flushing) 50mg working up to 300mg. I also take a EPA/DHA as well as some vascular support (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) as well as Magnesium at night. Which B complex brand do you like? I will see what the gut microbiome test comes back with. I’m sure they will try to sell me pre/probiotics and maybe some digestive enzymes. What are you thought on those? I’m curious if you managed to go into full remission from your Ménière’s disease? Thank you so much for your thoughtful insight. I know that building back up my gut health and immune health will help in so many ways as well as protecting me from many other major diseases as I go into my 60s and beyond.

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right! The logo the have on their packages got me confused--it looks like they are less than 20ppm, not certified GF. Thanks for catching that! My brain also zeroed in on this "less than 10ppm" but I should have seen the rest...
