FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
When my mother (who's now a great-grandmother) gave me this no-flour , gluten-free peanut butter cookie recipe about 15 years ago, I was skeptical, because it calls for only three ingredients (and no flour?!). But since then I've never had a failure. For these gluten-free peanut butter cookies-3 ingredients are all you need! -Maggie Schimmel, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

FLOURLESS AND SUGAR-FREE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
So easy, delicious and healthy! I use unsalted natural peanut butter, and splenda... I am considering using a natural chocolate peanut butter blend i have found. Just found recipe today on allrecipes.com and tried 2 batches ... one with baking soda and vanilla, one without. I prefer one without...more gooey and less crumbly. I also put about 1/3 of a cup of oats in my non baking soda batch...i would have put vanilla in but I realized I forgot the vanilla...oops. I got 16 cookies using a tablespoon to measure out dough balls.

ALMOST FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
This is very similar to my recipe #492715 with the addition of cocoa powder and chocolate chips. The peanut butter taste is very bold. The batter is easy to work with when shaping into cookies. NOTE: I use natural-style creamy peanut butter which usually has a film of oil on top of the jar. I always remove as much of the top layer of oil as possible (and the cookie dough for this recipe is pretty greasy anyway).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.
- In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter and sugar until well combined.
- Add vanilla, then add eggs one at a time, beating after each to combine well.
- Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, add to peanut butter mixture.
- Add chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough briefly if you have time. It is easier to shape than other doughs if not chilled, but I prefer to work with chilled dough.

- Bake about 9-10 minutes or til done, rotating the pans once after about 4 or 5 minutes.
- You can't tell how brown the bottoms are getting because the batter is dark brown, but you should be able to smell the cookies baking (without opening the oven door) for a couple of minutes before they are done.
- Let cool on racks.
FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL COOKIES
I saw this recipe in TOH and changed a few things to suit my own tastes. It is very easy to throw together and has a very satisfying flavor and texture. You may want to cut down the sugar to 1/2 cup if you don't like very sweet cookies. Use holiday colored m&m's for a festive look in lunch boxes or at parties!

"FOOLED ME" FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
After tasting similar cookies at a picnic, we excitedly left with our friend's recipe. We were intrigued by the technique, but determined to eliminate that odd aftertaste which so often results from using Splenda in baked goods. We also wanted the finished cookie to be a bit less dry and crumbly. A few tweaks later, we enjoyed a terrific batch of gluten-free peanut butter cookies which could stand up against the best of traditional-method cookies. These quick cookies freeze well if you want (need) to reserve them for portion control. And, with only 3 tablespoons of real sugar divided across 16 cookies, one (or two!) a day won't wreck your South Beach or diabetic menu plan. We are usually tempted to double the vanilla in any recipe, but here the small amount of vanilla adds a depth of flavor without interfering with the rich peanut taste. Please note that the 5 minute preparation time does NOT include the 30 minutes this dough needs to rest in the refrigerator.

- Let cool for two minutes on baking sheet, then transfer cookies (with parchment paper) to wire rack to complete cooling.
- Enjoy!
EASY TASTY HEALTHY (ISH) FLOURLESS 2 WAY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
These are great and so simple you'll want to make them again and again. Adding the oats will give you a denser texture and make the cookies slightly more filling and you can serve them warm after they have half cooled. I do urge you to try them without the oats, they have an amazing light crumbly texture and a more concentrated flavour. In this case you must wait for the cookies to cool completely before removing them from the tray.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand held mixer beat the peanut butter and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla, baking soda, and egg. Mix on medium speed until incorporated.
- 3. Roll into 1-1 1/4 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets with at least 2 inches between the cookies. Using a fork make a classic crisscross pattern. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until very lightly browned.
- 4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to cookie cooling racks.
Tips:
- For the best results, use smooth peanut butter. Chunky peanut butter will result in cookies that are not as smooth and have a gritty texture.
- If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute granulated sugar. However, the cookies will be slightly less chewy.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
- If you want chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown and the centers are still slightly soft. If you bake them too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. They will firm up as they cool.
Conclusion:
Flourless peanut butter cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a quick snack or dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, you can enjoy these classic cookies in no time. So next time you're craving something sweet, give this recipe a try.
