Simple No Flour Peanut Butter Cookies

By

Hello Sweet Friends,

Today I am making Peanut Butter Cookies. They only require 4 ingredients. They are simple to make and delicious! Add them to your cookie exchange, people will love them. Just make sure no one on your list has a peanut allergy.

 

Shall we start?

Of course, our first ingredient will be peanut butter. I have only used Jif and Skippy but feel free to try whatever brand you use.

I found this recipe years ago, maybe 15 to 20 years ago. My daughter was little at the time. This is the only peanut butter cookie I make.

We will be using sugar, egg, and Vanilla! What, no flour. That’s right, no flour. They are just as good without the flour. You need to try them today!

See, so simple. Easy Peasy.

Mix all of this together.

You can easily double or triple the recipe.

I take an ice cream scoop, like these.

I used both the small and the large depending on what I’m feeling that day.

Then just put the dough onto the baking pan. No need to grease it. Smash the dough down with the bottom of a glass.

I then take a fork and drag it through the cookie dough one way, then the opposite way to get a criss-cross effect.

Pop them in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes and you are done.

Easy.

Simple.

Fast.

Delicious.

Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 18 Cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • granulated sugar as needed for top of cookie°

Notes

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Place your rack in the middle of the oven. 
In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1 inch apart onto an ungreased baking sheet or you can use an ice cream scoop (small or large). Flatten the mounds with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in sugar. Make a criss-cross pattern on the cookies with the tines of a fork. You can sprinkle more sugar on top of the cookies or coarse salt. Either is great!
Bake until golden around the edges, anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes, depending on how soft or hard you want them.  Repeat with the remaining dough.
