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

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
