No flour, Chewy, fudgy and Soft – These Peanut butter cookies are addictive
Flourless cookies often call for almond flour or coconut flour. But this recipe doesn’t call for any kind of flour. Let’s see what do you need to make these cookies
Peanut Butter- Creamy, unsweetened natural peanut butter. This peanut butter contains nothing but only roasted peanuts. It is much healthier than the sweetened ones. Always look at the label while buying Peanut butter as most of them contains vegetable oil and other unnecessary ingredients.
Honey– You can also substitute with maple syrup or coconut sugar or light brown sugar as well.
Egg- For fudgy cookies. no replacement for eggs.
Baking powder and baking soda– it gives the airiness and those beautiful cracks
Salt- Salt in cookies is very important. If you never add salt to you your cookies then you are definitely missing something. Salt brings out the sweetness and gives a very rounded taste.
Vanilla extract
Chocolate chunks– I would say this this optional but dark bitter chocolate in every bite of cookies is just so good. So don’t skip it. You can use chocolate chips instead.
Few tips for best flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
Though these flourless peanut butter cookies are easy and quick to make, here are a few useful tips
- Use unsweetened Creamy peanut butter. By using natural peanut butter you can control the amount of sweetness.
- Here is another tip, if you are opening a bottle and you see a layer of oil floating on top, use the hook attachment of a hand blender and beat it until it is creamy.
- Like any other baked recipe, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature.
- Once you mix all the ingredients the mixture consistency would be creamy. But in case of overmixing the dough will look a little bit dry. But it’s absolutely fine, the cookies will be baked perfectly.
Can the dough be frozen?
Absolutely!! To freeze the dough scoop the dough, arrange in a baking tray, flatten slightly. Then freeze. Once the cookies are frozen, pack it in a zip lock bag and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw completely before baking and bake as per recipe instruction.
