My grandma used to make peanut butter cookies all the time when I was a kid. They were soft and chewy and melted in your mouth but, best of all, my Grandma’s peanut butter cookies had a fancy fork pattern on the top. For a while now I have been working on a peanut butter cookie of my own. I have wanted a cookie that was as delicious as my Grandma’s but with perhaps a bit less sugar and flour. (If there is a plate of peanut butter cookies in front of me I’m going to eat the entire thing. At least they should be decent for you, right?) I have made all kinds of peanut butter cookies but, at long last, I have found the perfect one. These peanut butter cookies have no flour and only a bit of sugar and yet they are as soft and chewy as the one’s my Grandma used to make. Oh, and they even have the fancy fork pattern.
PrintFlour-Less Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 24 cookies 1x
Description
These flour-less peanut butter cookies are chewy and flavorful, with a delightful fork pattern on top, reminiscent of Grandma’s classic recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 1 tsp of baking soda
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until well combined and smooth.
- Add the egg and baking soda to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Use a fork to press a crisscross pattern onto the top of each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. For a different texture, try using chunky peanut butter. If you prefer a sweeter cookie, increase the sugar slightly. The crisscross fork pattern is not just decorative; it helps the cookies bake evenly.
