Really easy gluten-free and flourless peanut butter cookies, really simple ingredients, really yummy dough (and finished product!)
These flourless peanut butter cookies are another recipe I use for making bases for cheesecakes, slices etc. Or when I just want a peanut butter cookie. Or just the dough. Really, REALLY simple, just have to remember 1-1-1-1 … only problem is if I only need half of the mixture for the base, it’s a little difficult to just use half an egg. At times like these I just make the whole batch, and usually eat what isn’t required. Yum!
One variation that I’ve just recently tried is substituting the 1 cup of white sugar for 1/2 cup (90g) of brown sugar. I also didn’t add the vanilla, but added 1 tsp of baking soda instead (from a combination of other recipes I’d looked at on the internet). These cookies were SO soft … I think they’ll become my new standard peanut butter cookie recipe for when I want to eat the cookies. For the base, I think I’ll stick with the white sugar version below!
