Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
These flourless peanut butter cookies are a dream come true for anyone craving a quick, indulgent treat. With just a handful of ingredients, they bake up in 10 minutes, delivering a perfect balance of chewy centers and crisp edges.
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light or dark brown sugar firmly packed
- ½ teaspoon baking soda recommended but optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract recommended but optional
- Additional granulated sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (if you don’t have parchment paper, just drop cookies directly onto an ungreased cookie sheet).
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together sugars, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- Add peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract and stir until completely combined.
- Drop by 1 ½-Tablespoon-sized scoop onto prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with additional sugar and then lightly press down with your fingers to slightly flatten.
- Transfer to 350F/175C preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until edges are just beginning to turn a light golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on the cookie sheet as they will be too fragile to move when warm. Do not over-bake these cookies or they will be dry and crumbly.
