Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
(recipe source: greenhealthycooking.com)

These cookies are freakishly addictive! They are really simple to make and delicious.
I made my husband take most of them to work so I wouldn't be tempted..lol

1/2 cup unsweetened and unsalted smooth peanut butter (only ingredient: peanuts)
1/3 cup coconut sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350F

Add peanut butter, coconut sugar, egg and baking soda into food processor (or by hand if you have the strength) Turn on and let mix until a big ball forms.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll the dough into cherry-sized balls with your hands and place on lined baking tray leaving a lot of space between each ball because the cookies will spread out a lot.

Once your dough is out or your tray is full, take a fork and press the balls into thick small rounds. Like soda bottle caps maybe. If using chocolate chips, place 4 chocolate chips on top of each cookie and press them into the dough a little.

Bake for 10 minutes or until golden. Take out of the oven and let cool a little for about 10 minutes without touching them. Then carefully place them on a wire rack until they completely cool down

I have made these before without chocolate chips, and I was surprised at how good they are and how well they turned out with no flour ! I will have to try the chocolate chips next time (: ...I forgot to mention that I used Splenda as the sweetener, and it worked great.

Can regular sugar be used in place of coconut sugar? if so, same ratio?

If you used splenda in place of sugar and omitted the chocolate chips, would the cookies be low carb?

Hi emmysmom! You're so welcome. Good luck with this recipe. It's really great. I've found a lot of recipes that exclude gluten and grains and I couldn't be happier. I'll be posting more soon.

Hi goldenlocks! Yes, you definitely can. I've made them both ways. It's the same ratio. I hope you'll love these!

Hi soonersis! I think almond butter would be amazing in this recipe. Great idea!

Hi Lory! I don't use Splenda but I have used Stevia in this recipe and it worked great. Low carb, yes.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Thanks for posting this recipe, I'll be making them tomorrow. I love peanut butter and always use coconut sugar. I think I may add a little shredded coconut or coconut flakes and, of course, some dark chocolate.

When I first started watching carbs and was dying for a cookie I made Clare's five ingredient fix cookie which is just PB, egg and sugar(which I subbed Truvia remember to use proper conversion rates on those sweeteners because I didn't the first time and it was too sweet) I haven't made them in a while, might have to break those out again.
