How to Make Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

These Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies are unbelievably simple to make! Made in just one bowl with no flour and no butter!
RECIPE: sugarspunrun.com/flourless-pe...
Ingredients
1/2 cup granulated sugar 100g
1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar¹ firmly packed (100g)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda²
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup creamy peanut butter³ 280g
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract recommended but optional
Additional granulated sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:27 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (if you don’t have parchment paper, just drop cookies directly onto an ungreased cookie sheet).
00:30 In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together sugars, baking soda, and salt until combined.
01:26 Add peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract and stir until completely combined.
02:33 Drop by 1 ½-Tablespoon-sized scoop onto prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with additional sugar and then lightly press down with your fingers to slightly flatten.
03:23 Transfer to 350F/175C preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until edges are just beginning to turn a light golden brown.
03:49 Allow cookies to cool completely on the cookie sheet as they will be too fragile to move when warm. Do not over-bake these cookies or they will be dry and crumbly.
Notes
¹You may substitute this with ½ cup of granulated sugar (for a total of 1 cup/200g) of granulated sugar if you don’t have brown sugar.
²I prefer these cookies with the baking soda, it gives them the crackly tops and helps them to spread. However, if you don’t have it you can leave it out. Just lightly sprinkle your cookie dough with additional granulated sugar and then flatten with the tines of a fork in a criss-cross pattern before baking to help encourage the cookies to spread.
³I have only tested this recipe with traditional peanut butter, I believe crunchy peanut butter would work just fine but I have not tested it with “natural” peanut butter where the oil separates.

I usually mess up when baking pretty bad, and my family especially my step-dad tend to dislike when I make anything, but these cookies turned out amazing! Even though I burned myself they still turned out great and my family loved them. My step-dad even wanted more!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm so glad these were a success for you! Let me know if you try any of my other recipes 😊

[@all_things_dom6269]

Hi Sam! All I can say is WOW🤩-these cookies were FANTASTIC! I made my own brown sugar by mixing 2 tablespoons of Molasses with Organic Cane Sugar until it was combined and added a pinch of Nutmeg and Cinnamon to the dough once mixed. My family (hubby) included gobbled them up! I’m making another batch today lol 😂! Thanks so much for a simple, yet delicious recipe! 💕

[@SugarSpunRun]

That's so awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much! :)

recently started to make some gluten free bake goods because of a friend, but it is also for other non-gluten free people, so there cannot be compromise in flavor, that is why i only look for it in your recipes, because you never disappoint! I only wish there are more of flourless or an actual great gluten free recipe as a good substitute, i want them to be good and it happens to be gluten free, and not just pretty good for gluten free choice. Thank you Sam

I appreciate the comments about cutting the sugar in half but I wonder if that would affect the consistency of the cookie. Hopefully not. But I tried that when making fudge recently , and the fudge was too soft despite the fact that I was careful to let it boil for the proper amount of time. I’m excited to try this recipe!

1:13 How can the weight measurements of brown sugar and granulated sugar be the same weight if you have to pack the brown sugar?

[@SugarSpunRun]

With granulated sugar you don't have to pack it, it essentially packs itself. With the brown sugar, for a lack of a better way to explain it, is fluffy from the molasses added in. I hope that helps. :)
