Report
These chewy, Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies have ONLY 4 ingredients and are so tasty, so buttery, so melt-in-your-mouth decadent, you'd never guess they are actually gluten free!

Ingredients
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter (see notes)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl using a wooden spoon, beat the peanut butter until smooth. Add the sugar and beat until combined, then add the egg, stirring everything together to create a smooth dough.
- Roll the dough into 1 1/2 tbsp balls and place them at least 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the top of each with flaky sea salt, then press the prongs of a fork into the tops to form a classic peanut butter cookie cross hatch. The sea salt will both help balance out the sweetness of the cookie and help stop the fork sticking to the cookie dough.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, then leave the cookies to cool completely on the tray before transferring to a cookie jar or airtight container.
Notes
- The peanut butter: Do not use an all natural brand of peanut butter which separates in the jar, you want to choose a "no stir" brand that stays smooth and homogenous for these cookies to work without flour. If you are gluten-free, double check your peanut butter labels for gluten, just in case.
- Sticky dough: If your kitchen is really warm and the dough is a bit too sticky to form into balls, chill it for 20 minutes before shaping.
- Storage: These cookies will keep in an air-tight container for approximately 3-4 days at room temperature.
- Freezing: I have frozen this soft peanut butter cookie dough and the baked cookies as well. Both freeze equally well in an airtight container.
