Here's how to make these delicious Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies:
The deciding factor on what treat I was going to make for the kids was this and I was all out of flour too! What was a girl to do?
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies it was because I always maintain an arsenal of peanut butter for the kids lunches and was down to 1 egg.
Combine in mixing bowl:
- 1 cup Peanut Butter it can be Chunky or Creamy Peanut Butter
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar Plus 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
Add:
- 1 whole Egg
- 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
The Peanut Butter Cookie dough might look a little crumble but will hold up when scooped with a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
Scoop dough using a standard size cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon and roll into a ball.
Place onto a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet about 1 1/2" apart.
Use the back of the tines of a fork to form a crisscross pattern.
Bake cookies in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly brown around the edges.
Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheet before moving to a cooling rack.

I frequently make peanut butter cookies but I've never tried making it without flour! I'll definitely be trying this, Serena! Thanks for sharing!
These cookies look awesome. I'm amazed that they hold together with no flour or butter. Can't wait to try them! ...Susan
I just made these! They were amazing! Simplified them a little by just rolling into balls and criss cross with a fork. Baked on my baking stone. Allow them to cool thoroughly so they don't crumble on you! Very soft and chewy, or bake the extra 2 mins and have a little crunchier cookie. :-) They were luvvvved by everyone in the house! Will definitely make again, and now had a permanent place in the favorites cookbook! ★★★★★ ....♥, Celeste Teel
These were delicious. My family loved them. Thank you!

Hi. What is the other 2 TBLS of brown sugar for?
I found it was the right amount of sugar.

Hi Serena.
I'm thrilled with your reference to not having any idea where this recipe first originated. There are so many "original" gluten free authors now it's mind-boggling. And Kraft has even claimed a version of this recipe for the label on their peanut butter. I've been gluten free for more years than i can count now, and "back ion the day" there was precious little info or knowledge of alternative flours and/or grains and forget pre-mixed flours or products. Anyway, after much research and due diligence, i eventually purchased two cookbooks by the same author and never regretted it. This recipe was in the first i believe, originally published in 1990 ~ The Gluten Free Gourmet by Bette Hagman. The second was appropriately titled ;) More from the Gluten Free Gourmet. Bette's work was a true gift and lifesaver to many like myself who had no idea where to turn. I took what she taught me and built on it as have so many others. :)
Thanks so much for the info Kathryn.. It's a favorite recipe in our house!
my favorite cookie & no flour
Oh my goodness, they look amazing Serena! I've been searching for a PB cookie recipe for a while. This one might be THE one I need! Thanks :)
