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.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
