Peanut Butter Cookies

When Gem’s friend told me about this recipe I didn’t believe her. Cookies with only three ingredients? Without flour? But I did a quick search online and discovered it was true. The girls mixed up a batch and walked around town, selling them to the neighbors.

If you use sugar-free peanut butter and substitute Stevia, these gluten-free cookies will also be sugar-free! It’s too bad peanut butter itself is so high calorie. 😄

Equipment

• Cookie sheet

Ingredients

• 2 cups peanut butter creamy or crunchy, regular or sugar-free
• 1 cup sugar or Stevia artificial sweetener
• 2 large eggs

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• Mix the three ingredients by hand. (Using a mixer causes the oil from the peanut butter to separate out too much.) Mix until well-blended.
• Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheet. Press each cookie with a fork to flatten them, making a criss-cross pattern.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven (cookies will still be soft) and let cool on cookie sheet.

  Note: If using artificial sweetener, cookies will be very fragile and crumbly.
• Makes 24 cookies.
