Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

I would have never believed this easy recipe would work until I'd seen it with my own eyes, amazes me! And tastes exactly like regular peanut butter cookies!

Me and son are allergic to soy also, so we use the Skippy brand Natural Peanut Butter, which uses palm oil instead of soy. The Skippy Natural tastes just like the other processed peanut butters, with sugar and oil added for creaminess and sweet taste and spreadability (we don't like the pure natural peanut butters with nothing added, too thick and the oil rises to top requiring copious stirring each time, and not sweet enough for us).

Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Mix the ingredients together well. Begin with mixing with spoon or fork until the mixture starts to thicken, takes about a minute or two to start to thicken. Then I finish working the mixture with my hands for about one more minute, to get it totally thickened and ready to roll into balls.

2. Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls.

3. Put onto ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.

4. Flatten with a fork, criss-cross style.

5. Bake for 10 minutes.

6. Remove from cookie sheet delicately to avoid breakage while still warm.

Oooooh, yes! How heavenly! I think that's how you would add a Hershey's kiss on top, just guessing, sounds right to me!

The only thing I know about chocolates is that they all have soy lecithin in them, that's what enables them to harden and keep their shape, and my son and I are allergic to soy, so can't have them, alas and alack!!!

I put the chocolate on BEFORE baking and they worked just fine. I did this for Christmas (although I used chocolate stars) and they were fabulous. I shared with family at Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and they were all eaten by gluten-lovers.

Try Enjoy Life chocolate chips. They're the mini size and soy-free (gluten-free and dairy-free too). I stir them in when I make the cookies and they are extra yummy. These are my family's favorite cookies.

Wow! This could open up a whole new world to me! Thanks!

My twenty-eight year old son and I just found out we're allergic to glutens and soy ten months ago, and immediately went gluten and soy free since, so we sure do miss chocolate candy!

Best wishes to all!

I get the Enjoy Life chocolate chips at the health food store - but they just got them in about 6 weeks ago. You might have to order them online, but believe me, it will be worth it.

So glad the cookies turned out great for you! My son loves them too!

He's still waiting for the big batch I told him I'd make for Christmas, and then New Year, and I haven't come through yet since we had so many other sweets!

Hey, maybe Sunday, good idea!

Best wishes to all!

My grandma found a similiar recipe in Penzies One magazine (by penzy spice company) and gave it to me. The only difference is it had vanilla. I figured any recipe that had 4 ingrediants was worth a shot.

I did find they HAD to rest for a while before I could take them off the pan.

The only problem was everyone else liked them so much they ate most of them :blink: and left me only one or two.

This was my first attempt at making gluten free cookies and I willdeffinetly add it to my list.

:rolleyes: Those sound great, and really simple! These are my current favourite peanut butter cookies to add to your collection. I found them on the Everyday Food web-site at PBS. They have worked out every time. Here is the link: Open Original Shared Link

Enjoy!

Yes!

These are great cookies

My family has been using this recipe for many years

I do housekeeping in other people's homes, and once in a while I bake up a batch in someone elses kitchen, and they always love them....it is easy to remember the recipe because it is so simple ......you can just make up a batch anywhere without scrolling through a stack of recipe's or wondering which book it was in.......

I had found the same recipe on the internet as well and yes it is excellent and easy to make.

I use only 100% peanut butter, no extra oils added. I have also used almond butter and tahini paste as well. The last batch I made was.

1/2 cup almond butter

1/2 cup tahini paste

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

dash of salt

They were very good.

Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!
