Look Ma! No Flour! (Peanut Butter Cookies)


Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies from Joy The Baker
My Notes: With only 4 ingredients (5 counting the chocolate), these cookies went together fast and easy (especially with a stand mixer). The recipe said to roll the dough into balls, so I used my small cookie scoop to portion them out and finished them with my hands, not so much rolling as pressing. They looked like they were just going to crumble apart when I pressed the fork tines into the tops of them, but they turned out fine. In fact they turned out great! 

I melted a handful of chocolate chips and piped the melted chocolate into the fork pattern using a piece of parchment rolled into a cone. Pop the piped cookies into the fridge for 30 minutes or so to harden the chocolate back up. I didn't have time to do that part so the chocolate was still a little gooey when it came time to serve them. Not that it was a problem in any way, mind you! 

These easy little cookies are going to be made again and again at my house, I just know it!

  1. Wow. They're gluten free, too. My very good friend owns a gluten-free creperie, and they're always looking for cute little gluten-free goodies to sell. I'm going to pass this on. Thanks!

  2. Leslie - Kids and adults all seemed to like these so I bet they would be a hit at your friend's shop. The unspoken vibe was that I didn't put enough chocolate on them! The 101 Cookbooks blog has a good handful of recipes for gluten-free goodies (there's a link in my side-bar). Her Chocolate Puddle Cookies practically made me drool on the keyboard!
