No Flour Peanut Butter Cookies

Recommended Posts

Mix together

1 cup sugar

1 cup peanut butter (I use all natural just peanuts type.)

1 egg

Stir together and form into balls. Place on baking sheet and press down with a fork. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. They don't really brown so take them out at that time.

I just made these and the plate is almost gone. My gluten eating family is going nuts for them! DH just said it's one of the best cookies he has ever had.

I've seen this recipe a lot and everyone raves about them in the reviews. I would love to try them sometime for my family(me and peanut butter dont mix well-and we use the natural too) How much does this make? It seems like it wouldnt make a lot, but i bet they are good!

It made one big cookie sheet full. I didn't count, but maybe a dozen or a few more. That was decent size too, not tiny.

They really taste like they have flour in them. If you brought them to a party and didn't tell anyone, seriously they wouldn't be able to tell they weren't regular old peanut butter cookies.

I so want to try these but the thought of what my system would do if I ingested refined white sugar like that makes me shudder. I wonder if I could substitute 3/4 raw honey instead... Hmmm....

oh my gosh these were awesome ... my boys loved them too! won't be making these very often since they are irresistable! yum! :D

Has anyone tried substituting two egg yolks for the egg whites?

AKcollegestudent Apprentice

I've been making variations of this since I went gluten free (again) nine months ago. And it's decent with honey or agave--I've used both. There isn't quite the crunchy shell that some versions of this have. (Those versions say that you should roll the balls in sugar before pressing them down.)

My current favorite version involves mixing dark chocolate peanut butter (if you want something good/miss Nutella, seriously? Find the Peanut Butter Co.'s gourmet peanut butters) with crunchy peanut butter (natural because it's soy free) with sugar, egg, and baking powder. My starting recipe calls for a teaspoon of baking powder; other versions call for a teaspoon of baking soda.

I haven't removed the egg white from this, but I know that it's possible to make a double batch with only one egg, so it might be possible. At the very least, it'd be an interesting experiment.

Duh! My mistake. I'd need to add two egg whites instead of the egg yolk as it's the yolk I'm intolerant to, not the white.

They're also amazing if, once they are completely cooled, you dip them into melted chocolate, then let it set. SOOOOO good. I tried this because I had tried to add some chocolate chips in to the dough once and the balls wouldn't stay together when forming. I suppose you could just pat them into a 9x13 dish and make bars out of them...or make bars from the regular recipe and then add melted chocolate to the top of the bars--easier than dipping them all :)

I also added an extra egg, makes the dough less crumbly

I add a teaspoon of vanilla to mine. Dipping in chocolate sounds like a fantastic idea--I'd do half and leave the other half plain.

I put chocolate chips in tonight and they turned out great. I just made sure there was plenty of dough and I formed them into cookie shapes in my hand so the chips stayed in.

I forgot to say in my original post that you need to flatten the balls of dough when you put them on the cookie sheet.

I was thinking about dipping them in chocolate too!

The recipe that I have calls for 1/2 c. sugar. The rest is the same. I usually use health food store peanutbutter, so I don't know if Jiff or other brand are gluten-free or not, but I know they add sugar so the 1/2 cup makes sense if you're using that kind.

I use: 1 egg

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup white sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla

Lightly beat egg in separate bowl. Mix peanut butter and sugar in large bowl, by hand until well blended. Add in remaining ingredients and mix well. Roll 1 TBSP of dough into a ball and roll in white sugar to coat. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Use a fork dipped in sugar to create hatch marks like traditional pb cookies.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Let sit on baking trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks. Makes approximately 36 cookies. These are absolutely delicious and the staff at my school thought they were traditional cookies and professionally made because they were all uniform.

Enjoy!

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
