Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies (Printable)

Soft, chewy peanut butter snacks made with minimal ingredients, gluten-free and quick to prepare.

# What You Need:

→ Cookie Dough

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 large egg

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, blend peanut butter, granulated sugar, and egg until smooth and fully combined.
03 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
04 - Flatten each ball gently with a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top.
05 - Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are set and tops begin to crack.
06 - Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No flour means you're not wrestling with measurements or wondering if you over-mixed.
  • Ready in under twenty minutes from idea to cooling rack—perfect when you need something sweet right now.
  • Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free without any compromise on that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
02 -
  • Don't overbake these. They firm up significantly as they cool, so pull them out when the tops still look slightly soft.
  • Brown sugar gives a deeper, molasses-forward flavor if you ever want to swap it in—I've done it and honestly prefer it.
03 -
  • The fork crisscross isn't just decoration—it creates ridges that help them bake more evenly and look professionally done.
  • Room temperature egg blends faster into the peanut butter, so pull it out of the fridge before you start if you remember.
