FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies image

Claire Robinson's cookies only use a few ingredients but the last one, sea salt, is key as it gives them their addictive salty finish. Since the cookies are flourless, they're very tender, so let them cool awhile on the pan before moving them.

  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Peanut butter cookies are a classic treat that are loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with different ingredients to create unique flavor combinations. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, with or without chocolate chips, peanut butter cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
