Flour-less Peanut Butter Cookies

I’ve seen this recipe floating about tumblr and food blogs, I was so excited to try it (but I couldn’t taste any of it)! I wanted to try and make it healthier by not adding sugar, but I figured pure peanut butter will not bake like a cookie. I reduced the sugar and used organic peanut butter which I got at Healthy Options. I tasted it about a month ago and it takes just like crushed peanuts. It’s yummy!

You will need:

• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1/4-1/2 cup of peanut butter (or 3 heaping tbsp.)
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp baking power or soda

How to make it:

1. Combine brown sugar and peanut butter and start to mix together
2. Add egg and baking powder or sugar, mix with peanut butter and sugar
3. The consistency should be sticky, but crumbly
4. Take a table spoon of the batter and roll, place on parchment paper and flatten slightly with a fork (don’t worry if it breaks or crumble on the ends)
5. Place in oven for 7-15 minutes (depending on the power of your oven) Mine was at 250 for about 10ish minutes
6. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes (if you poke it with a toothpick, it will still be extremely soft- don’t worry, it will harden on the outside and be soft on the inside)

This made 13 cookies depending on the size of your cookies.

You may add chocolate chip cookies or fruits. I shredded some Swiss chocolate on top of six cookies for some variety. I don’t know how many calories this is, a lot of sites range from 30-50 calories per cookie depending what you add.

In terms of taste, I can’t attest to how these tasted, but everyone who ate it said they were delicious. They sure smelt delicious.
