I'm in need of a peanut butter cookie recipe

Any good ones?  I've tried a couple and as with most cookies I've made, they've failed.  I can't  use xanthan gum which doesn't help things.  I need a cookie that holds itself together and doesn't spread out flat.  I've even tried the trick of baking them frozen but still no luck.

Try the ones my Home Ex teacher in the 7th grade (1970s) taught us.  This is so simple that I still recall this recipe!  

1 cup peanut butter, natural

1cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla (could be optional)

Bake 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.  Roll into 1 inch balls and flatten with a fork making a criss cross pattern.  I leave them as balls.  Easier to pop into your mouth.  You can add chocolate chips too.  Want to make them bigger?  Add more baking time.

I make these and use half brown sugar and half white.  And I use any old Pb.

You got me!   My Home Ec teacher did not care about which type of peanut butter, but I like to use Costco’s natural peanut butter.  I am a peanut butter snob!  ?

You just need the kind with added oil , salt and sugar- not the kind that comes when you just grind peanuts only.

Thank you, sure looks easy enough.  I'm curious as to why using a peanut butter with oil, salt and sugar.  I always buy without oil and sugar.  Is there a noticeable difference?

Try it and see.  Then report back

Wait a minute.  I use peanut butter that lists only peanuts and sea salt.  The oil naturally separates when the peanuts are ground and the end product is stored.  It must be stirred well after opening and it  requires refrigeration once opened (no preservatives).   It makes for fine cookies.  

 The disadvantages of a natural peanut butter is that it requires refrigeration after opening and it is a pain to stir when you first open it up.

I've tried this one and it works great :) 

https://whipandwander.com/almond-peanut-butter-cookies/

---

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter (may sub almond or sun butter)
  • 5 tbsp coconut oil, softened
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt, plus more to top if desired
  • 2 cups almond flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 F (176 C)

  1. Cream raw honey, peanut butter, and coconut oil together in a mixing bowl. Then add vanilla, baking soda, and salt and mix.
  2. Add almond flour and mix until a thick dough forms.
  3. Portion dough into 1 tbsp spoonfuls and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking liner.
  4. Press down on each ball of dough with a fork crosswise, to form the traditional peanut butter cookie indentations.
  5. Sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of fine sea salt if desired.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes. Cookies should be golden brown around the edges.
  7. The cookies will be fragile when warm, so I like to let them cool slightly for approx 10 minutes before transferring them to a cookie jar.

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.

      I got beaten so bad playing dominoes that made me realize that I was probably eating something with gluten, the culprit (Simms premium cracked pepper STEAKSTRIP). Now I can look back and see all other symptoms: irregular stools, bad sleep, desire to eat uncontrollably, bad mood, etc. Gluten really does a job on my short-term memory.

      I can confirm this. I no longer have any issues with Iodine since being strictly gluten and dairy free.

      I should point out that iodine is known to exasperate dermatitis herpetiformis blistering. It can take several months or even years of a strict gluten-free diet for the IgA-TG3 deposits to clear from the skin. After the skin completely heals, iodine may no longer trigger symptoms. "The circulating antibodies disappear and skin symptoms resolve as a result of gluten-free diet but the cutaneous anti-TG3 IgA deposits may persist for several years.
