Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
Flourless peanut butter cookies are soft, tender, and filled with rich peanut butter flavor. They're perfect for any peanut butter lover and require no chilling time before baking. You can have a batch ready in 30 minutes or less!
Servings 16 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (270 g) smooth peanut butter
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (53 g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside (I do not recommend using a greased baking sheet for this recipe - the cookies will spread too much).
- In a large bowl, add peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix with a hand mixer until creamed and fluffy, about a minute. Add egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined, about a minute.
- Scoop dough using a medium (1.5 tablespoon) cookie scoop or shape by hand into 1.5 inch balls. Place cookie dough balls 2 inches apart onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Press a fork into the balls to create a crosshatch pattern.
- Bake for about 10-11 minutes, or until lightly browned around edges. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely (your cookies will be very tender straight from the oven and are much easier to handle when cooled).
Notes
- Storage: Baked cookies will keep for 5 days in a sealed container at room temperature. To help keep cookies fresh, place a slice of bread in the container with the cookies. Replace the bread slice as needed.
- Storing raw dough: Raw cookie dough will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days. Cookie dough balls (and baked cookies) freeze well, up to 3 months in a sealed plastic container or freezer bag. Allow frozen balls to thaw for up to 10 minutes on the baking sheet before baking, or add 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
- Can I use natural peanut butter?: I do not recommend using natural/homemade peanut butter for this recipe (the type that separates as it sits). Your dough will be dry and the cookies turn out oily and dense when baked.
