About these Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies:
These peanut butter cookies are straight out of my childhood. They are ingrained into my memory more than any other childhood treat, except maybe for the peanut butter cornflake square my Mom used to make. Growing up these peanut butter cookies were regularly found in our lunches…back in the days when you could actually take peanut butter to school! At the time I didn’t really appreciate how delicious they were, because they were just part of our regular lunch routine. But now as an adult, I can truly see how delicious these cookies are. They are rich with peanut butter flavour, soft, have a delightful chewy texture, and melt in your mouth. Truly a peanut butter cookie lovers dream.
A no-flour cookie!
The neat thing about this peanut butter cookie is that there is no flour in the ingredients. Every time I make them this surprises me, but they always turn out as beautifully as expected. They’re chewy and so good.
A family recipe.
But one of the things I love most about these peanut butter cookies is that they are a recipe handed down from my Grandma. She used to make these cookies for my Mom and her siblings, then my Mom made them for my sister and I, and now my kids are enjoying them. Family recipes are priceless. I truly think the best recipes are those passed down through the generations. They’re tried and true and I love that.
So peanut buttery!
This peanut butter cookie recipe is just that kind of recipe. These cookies are soft, chewy and full of peanut butter flavour. They’re perfect for dunking into a glass of milk. Delicious.
This recipe makes 24 cookies, but feel free to double the recipe!
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe Tips:
- Peanut Butter: Use regular smooth peanut butter. I’ve never made these with natural peanut butter, so I’m not sure how they would turn out.
- Option: You can stir 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the dough before baking if you like! Or drizzle the baked cookies with melted chocolate…yum!
- Freezing: These cookies freeze great! Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Can you just smell them? So good.
