4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies {gluten free}



I'm a huge fan of peanut butter.  Peanut butter cookies, pie, ice cream, candy, etc...  Even straight out of the jar.  When I found this recipe I have to admit that I was skeptical.  Only 4 ingredients (5 with chocolate chips)?  And no flour?  No way!!  Ohhhhhhh YES!!  These easy treats are my new favorite peanut butter cookie recipe.  And my gluten-free-eating hubby can even enjoy them.    


Makes about 20 cookies

Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar (+ extra sugar for sprinkling)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**can add 1 c. choc. chips if desired, I couldn't resist

1.  Mix all the ingredients together in a medium bowl.

2.  Roll dough into 1" balls and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

3.  Use the tines of a fork to press the cookie flat and create the criss-cross pattern.  Sprinkle with extra sugar.

4.  Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes, until the edges become golden brown.

    I think I'd add the chocolate chips too, I've never had peanut butter cookies w/them and it sounds good. :)

    My husband loves PB cookies and we're planning a gluten free experiment, so these will be perfect :)

    These could be great for Passover which is next week, and during this holiday we don't eat anything with flour.
    Thanks!!

      It can be so tough to have a gluten allery in the house. I really hope she enjoys these as much as my hubby did. Nichi

    These cookies are awesome! Very crumbly when freshly baked but after sitting in the container on the counter for a couple of days they are perfect. I kept some dough aside, rolled them and have them in the freezer. I’m sure they won’t be there long… . Thanks for the recipe!
