I use half a cup of brown sugar and half a cup of white. Then I roll the balls in sugar before baking. You can add a hershey kiss on top too. Or put chocolate chips in them. Or you can melt some chocolate in a double boiler and dip the baked cookies in it, then refrigerate on waxed paper.

 

They are so good, aren't they?  Everybody I've made them for prefers them to regular PB cookies because they stay soft.

Well, enough of you guys keep talking about these flourless PB cookie recipes that I am gonna try it now.  Definitely no harm in adding chocolate, either, LOL!

Just leave a lot of space between them when you bake them because they spread out a lot. And be really careful They are so good you might eat the whole batch in one sitting!

I know this is an old thread, but I had a piece of advice.... Chill the mixture until cold before making the balls of dough. Helps them from spreading like crazy.

This recipe was around when I was in middle school (back in the 1970's).  My Home Economics teacher had us make these (remember when girls were required to take Home Ec?  Perfect for celiacs!  

My tip?   Always use parchment paper or a silicone mat, especially with gluten-free flour.  These tend to stick more.
