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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
