Flourless Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe
You’ve found the perfect healthy, peanut butter cookie recipe
If you are looking for a simple 4-ingredient, low sugar cookie, this recipe is quick and delicious. I was a little concerned about how it would turn out (and whether my husband would like it) not having any flour in it.
I love to bake but need recipes that are healthy so I feel good serving it to my family, plus are quick and easy to make. This recipe fulfills all the categories.
This is a flourless peanut butter cookie you’ll love
Since it is flourless, it is gluten-free as well. These are all ingredients that most everyone has on hand. I use the Kirkland brand (from Costco) organic peanut butter as it contains only dry roasted peanuts and salt without added sugar.
Reduced sugar in this peanut butter cookie adds to healthiness
Most recipes like this contained twice the sugar, so my goal is to cut the sugar by half in most recipes which is what I did. Over the years as I’ve reduced the sugar in my diet, my body has become less tolerant. It usually rebels with symptoms such as an immediate headache and anxiety as a more delayed reaction. I think these are delicious and should fulfill your cravings for something sweet. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup organic sugar
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg and vanilla. Next, add the peanut butter and sugar until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.
- Bake until golden around the edges or about 10 minutes. Transfer to cooling racks. Makes 12-14 cookies.
