You know that we I love peanut butter, right? LOVE.

Peanut butter cookies are our my favorite. The only thing I don’t care for is the floury taste that sometimes accompanies even the very best peanut butter cookies.

I found an amazing recipe on Joy The Baker‘s site when I began having gluten issues and have found that when paired with milk chocolate chips, these cookies are amazing. With or without the chocolate, they’re amazing – I won’t force anyone to put chocolate chips in their cookies.

Of course I’m going to share the recipe for these with you – because I am not one of those people who has secret recipes!

Five Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Ingredients for flourless peanut butter cookies

Ingredient 1.  1 cup Peanut Butter

Ingredient 2. 1 cup sugar

Ingredient 3. 1 egg

Ingredient 4. 1 tsp baking soda

Ingredient 5 (optional). 1/4 cup Chocolate chips

Mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Add baking soda. Fold in chocolate chips.

Use a spoon to scoop the dough and roll into 1 inch balls. The dough is flaky and might have to be squeezed together to make it stick into a ball – it’s ok – it’ll be worth it.

  1. Do you know the nutrition for one cookie??

  2. Just made these and they were great! I should have made smaller balls and flattened them more. But i added Reese pieces and white chocolate. YUM!

    1. Could these simple fast cookies be made without peanut butter, lets say using coconut oil to hold them together..similar to sugar cookies? Any ideas? Thank you. (btw made two batches two days in a row using 1/2 cup almond butter and 1/2 peanut butter, they were delicious!)

  3. Can I substitute sugar with sweetener?

    1. Ally, I’ve only used sugar – but another commenter used coconut sugar and said they turned out!

  7. Some genuinely nice and utilitarian info on this web site, as
    well I conceive the style has wonderful features.

  8. Are these a soft cookie? I’m going to make these but I’m going to use trivia instead of regular sugar. My husband and I are doing the trim health momma diet, and these are exactly the kind of desert that is allowed!

      How did they turn out Dayna?

    Just wondering if anyone has tried this recipe using a sugar substitute as I am looking to cut out carbs and the sugar adds a lot of them.
