Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
What makes this recipe really sing: Without the flour getting in the way you really get that true peanut butter flavor.
BYOC: Try tossing in mini versions of stuff. I love peanut butter chips, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut and even a mini peanut butter cup. Try making a thumb print cookie and add jelly to it. Go crazy, kids and adults love these.
Yield: 18 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- coarse sea salt
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and place racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
- In a medium sized bowl mix ingredients until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture about 1-inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Flatten mounds with tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of cookies.
- Bake, switching position of pans halfway thorough baking, until golden around edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
