Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Please excuse me as I breeze through dinner. I hope you don’t mind, but believe me, dessert is what ya wanna read about tonight!

For dinner I made eggplant medallions, prepared the same way I made them last week, but without chicken and with Brie instead of shredded cheddar cheese.

Eggplant Medallions

Dinner

On the side I enjoyed roasted cauliflower, which came out of the oven first and was devoured before the eggplant medallions were done cooking.

Roasted Cauliflower

Sometimes ya just can’t wait!

I also enjoyed three large Monterey Pasta Company lemon shrimp ravioli, which I received from the company to sample.

Lemon Shrimp Ravioli

I was a little apprehensive about this particular flavor because a lemon flavor in ravioli didn’t really call to me.

I was pleasantly surprised though and really enjoyed the big chunks of real shrimp meat in the ravioli.

Peek-a-Boo

Though dinner was yummy, dessert was yummier.

Dessert

Tonight’s dessert was comprised of only three ingredients. Three *delicious* ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1 c. peanut butter

1 Cup PB

Ingredients

Combine those three bad boys and bake at 350 for 10 minutes and what do ya get?

Flourless peanut butter cookies!

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Moist 'n' Delicious

For as much as I love peanut butter,  I have a hard time finding really good peanut butter cookies.

I often think peanut butter cookies are too dry or floury. I want moist peanut butter goodness and – trust me – these cookies deliver.

Sadie was loving the leftover peanut butter.

Peanut Butter Lover

I had three bite-size cookies for dessert.

The cookies don’t really expand in the oven, so the dough is perfect for shaping into whatever shape you want.

Since Ryan is out at a soccer game right now, I made him three special cookies to enjoy when he arrives home:

I Love You

I hope he likes his sweet treat! (I assure you the cookies will be devoured by the cookie monster *me* if he doesn’t ;) ).

  1. Hmmm…are they soft and chewy Julie? I think that many flour less desserts typically are?

  2. YUMMM those look amazing but dangerous! Whenever I have small cookies I end up eating WAY too many because I can not say no! However, I might have to try these with almond butter anyway.

  10. Those cookies look so good! I love PB, but in the past PB cookies have always not lived up to their name. Can’t wait to give these a try :)

  12. OH. MY. GOODNESS.
    The second I saw those cookies I ran to the kitchen to try them. There’s nothing worse than dry cookies and these are the total opposite. They are so easy! I did half the batch plain and mixed chocolate chips into the other half. Might be the best thing I’ve ever eaten!

  23. Julie-
    I also love PB but don’t like PB cookies! They never have much flavor and taste oily and dry. These look delish – a must try this weekend.

  25. I am going to try these cookies. Great idea!

      

    [Reply]

  26. I make these as part of my contest prep to help with the sweet cravings. To help clean them up a bit, you can use splenda and an egg white and get the same thing, just a little bit more crumbly. SO GOOD!

  55. Flourless peanut butter cookies. Amazing. Do you have a vegan recipe for this? I could try egg-replacer but i’m not sure that will turn out very well since it’s not moist like eggs are, or even applesauce would do right?

      

    [Reply]

    peanutbutterfingers Reply:

    hmmm i’ve heard that a tbsp. of ground flax seed + 1/4 c. of water for each egg will work to “veganize” some recipes. maybe that would work for this one too???

  66. Ok, I know this is an old post, but I HAD to comment on it. I made these this weekend for a football (ROLL TIDE) get together. Everyone LOVED them!!! They were so freaken easy peasy I almost felt guilty for receiving all the compliemnts on them. My lil gurlie (will be 2 in December, where did the time go *sad face*) Ate one, then she came back for another one, had that one in her hand, stole one from another lil gurlie at the party who is 6 and REFUSED to give it back to her lol. I had to put the bowl they were in up high so she couldn’t reach it.
