Need a gluten-free cookie recipe? These flourless peanut
butter cookies are so good, you will never even guess they're
"specialty" cookies for people who have to follow a strict diet.
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
1 C. creamy peanut butter
1 C. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
Directions: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cream butter and sugar.
Beat in baking powder, and add the egg. Mix until well-combined. Roll dough
into balls, roll balls in sugar (optional) and place on a cookie sheet lined
with parchment. Bake about 10 minutes – wait at least 5 min. before removing
from the cookie sheet. Optional: Melt milk chocolate chips and drizzle over the
cooled cookies.
Notes: These are so good, and so easy, and disappear so fast
that I usually treble the recipe.
Red Sonjas Variant: Add candied ginger, chopped very fine,
to the dough, about a tablespoon (or to taste), and a dash of red pepper (a
little goes a long way). Place the dough balls on the baking sheet, stick the
end of a steak knife into the dough (the oil from the peanut butter will make
the sugar stick to the blade), dip it in red sugar and press the flat tip of
the blade into the ball to flatten it slightly, leaving the red sugar in the
impression. Flatten remaining balls, and bake as above.
