In this house of allergic people I live in it is an everyday (if not more than daily) occurrence to hear, “Can I eat that? What’s in it?” While it is completely understandable that the kids are trying to make sure they do not eat something they are allergic to, it is exhausting. It makes me feel so bad when I make something one of them can’t have, but on the other hand I always have an alternative on hand for the one that is left out.
I have 2 kids with single allergies, and I just don’t know how people manage that have children with multiple allergies. I know they do manage, because parents always figure it out. It is just hard in our society, because everything revolves around food!
So, imagine my delight when I found this recipe for peanut butter cookies that has no wheat, and no dairy! I about fell out of my chair. They are so simple I almost wondered if the recipe would work when I first tried them. To my amazement these are the most delicious Peanut Butter Cookies! You can’t tell that they are flour-less! You could sell these at a bake sale and they would be gone in minutes! They are that good!
4 ingredients. That’s it! 4 ingredients and you will be in Peanut Butter Cookie Heaven!
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies Printable Version
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 egg
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Cream the peanut butter and sugar in a bowl. This is much easier by hand.
Beat in the baking powder, and then stir in the egg. Mix until it is all combined well.
The dough will be sticky! Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drop the dough by small tsps. onto the cookie sheet. The smaller these cookies are the better.
Just a regular tsp. I kept my hands clean too! You can just use your hands to roll them in little balls if you prefer.
Sprinkle dough balls with sugar and use a fork to make the cross marks.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown around the edges.
Take the pan out of the oven, but let sit for at least 5 minutes before you try to remove the cookies from the pan. They will be fragile while warm.
Makes about 20 cookies depending on size!
I wish I had a “add a smell” feature! These smelled so good, and tasted even better!

Hey, these look really good. I’m doing the low carb thing and I think I’m going to try them with Splenda and see what happens. Thanks for the great recipe. Amy Fraysur
I’ve actually seen these done with Splenda! Try 1 1/3 cups of splenda and see how they turn out! Hope this helps!
Yeah! This works for both of my food allergic daughters. They have different food allergies and I have another set. Aargh I know what you mean as we all have multiple allergies.
thank you thank you thank you! i have made these prior to kids. the whole family (minus my husband) was diagnosed celiac and so i have been looking for recipes to make the kids. i could not remember how to make these cookies so you saved the day! i will make these asap! i tried to make some chocolate chip cookies with some new flour i got over the weekend and they did not go well. we also had some issues with betty crocker gluten free cake. i am a chef, so this is doubly disappointing. if you have any other gluten free baked goods recipes, we would love some more tried and tried yummy stuff! thanks!
These look yummy, can’t wait to try! You have such awesome revipes, I loooved the French bread one you posted!
They are delicious… Oh my! I could not wait for them to cool down. Love them! Thank you for the easy recipe…..
do you have any other flourless cookies recipes ? Ive been searching online allweekend and cannot find any other than the peanut butter….would like tohave a variety if you know of any. thanks
These flourless cookies are the easiest cookies known to mankind! AND to boot, they are so good, and are easy to mix, easy to drop onto pan, and cook in a flash. You can have warm peanutty goodness in just a few minutes. I have used all types of peanut butter ranging from Peter Pan, Skippy, Jif, and the natural styles. I have also used chocolate peanut butter, and it turns out pretty dang good as well. I would imagine that ANYONE smelling these divine morsels, in the oven will want to partake of them. (unless you’re allergic to nuts, of course!) Try them, you will be pleasantly surprised at the ease of making and baking these sweet little cookies.
