Peanut Butter Cookies
Levi Brown
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 350° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, sugars, eggs, baking soda, and salt until smooth.
Step 2
Shape the dough into balls (about 1 heaping tablespoon each) and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Using the tines of a fork, flatten each ball, creating a crisscross pattern.
Step 3
Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until puffed and golden, 10 to 12 minutes (the cookies will deflate as they cool). Let cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

My daughter and I are both gluten intolerant, and we both love cookies. I made these for friends for the holidays. I used crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth, and added a bag of chocolate chips. Everyone I gave them to has asked for the recipe!

These are the worst flourless peanut butter cookies I've ever made. I haven't read the reviews, so I don't know whether others have posted similar comments. The easiest, and best, recipe is 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg. Mix, bake on parchment at 350 for about 8-10 minutes or until set. REALLY good, really simple. The salt and baking soda in this recipe adds a GROSS salty taste, and the mixed sugars changes the texture.

So far one big gooey mess, chilling the batter (can not really call it dough) so I can form some form of a ball. First batch came out very greasy. I bake all the time and will try this again, but so far not impressed.

These are exceptional cookies, they are not too sweet. I tossed in some minced apples (minced and dried real well on a paper towel - apples add moisture so be sure to dry them well) and that was an nice surprise on the tongue. My husband is a fussy cookie guy and he loves these.

These turn out great . I added Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Minis to the middle of the cookies as soon as they came out of the oven . The grandkids just love them .

This terific recipe was in a shelter magazine years ago. It is easy to make-especially for someone who is flour or baking-challenged as I am. It is easier to shape the dough if you refrigerate it for a little while. You can also omit the baking soda and the cookies still come out great.

These are the best cookies I've ever had. They absolutely melt in your mouth. They are so easy to make and perfect for people who can't eat gluten. Thank you Real Simple once again!!

These cookies are delicious! They were a perfect addition to my cookie tray, as they offer a gluten free option. Let them cool completely to prevent them from breaking.

These are great and so easy to make! I've also made the version with pretzel and toffee pieces. They have been a huge hit this holiday season!
