For some strange reason, over the past few years, my most successful recipes have been flourless, which spell checker will tell you is not a word. Foodies know better. Flourless is a potent word because it means that people who eat gluten-free can eat the suggested food, that people who like the real taste to shine through will enjoy it and that it is usually easy to make.
I have made flourless cakes and brownies, nutty cookies, like this one with no flour. Using cashew butter, almond butter and peanut butter, I have mastered some really scrumptious cookies. I only tasted this warm and it was delicious.
Flourless Peanut-Chocolate Cookies —- Everyday Food, March 2005
-
Yield Makes 24
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts (the one change in this recipe was to chop the nuts)
Procedure
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 large egg (lightly beaten), 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined. Stir in 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts. (What they call — easy peasy)
- With moistened hands, roll dough, about 1 heaping tablespoon at a time, into balls. Place 2 inches apart on two baking sheets.
- Bake until cookies are golden and puffed, 12 to 14 minutes, rotating sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through. Cool 5 minutes on sheets; transfer cookies to racks to cool completely. (The cooling is very important for this recipe to stand as whole cookies.

sounds great – thanks for sharing!
What an interesting recipe! It certainly looks delicious. Thanks for sharing on Sweet Indulgences Sunday.
I am try not to eat white flour so this is an interesting recipe for me. I’m also avoiding sugar so I’d have to try to figure something out, but these cookies sound great! I host a recipe swap every week and I’d love for you to come by and show off a recipe or two. Have a blessed day
