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.

Do you think you could let them bake as the balls THEN put a hershey's kiss in them and make the PB Blossoms? Those are my absolute favorite cookie in the world. Or is Hershey's not gluten free??? EEEEK!!!

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.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
