Peanut butter might just be one of my favorite foods in the world, and one of the best ways to eat it is in cookie form. There’s plenty of recipes out there for peanut butter cookies, but I prefer the ones without flour. They are a bit more fragile than the “usual” peanut butter cookies, but once they are cool, they stay together quite well, and they are super tender when you take a bite. No dry cookies here! Plus the amazing taste of the peanut butter is truly the star.

And since these are Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies, they are naturally gluten free!

There’s so many ways you can take this basic recipe and customize it with your favorite mix-ins, toppings, fillings, frostings, and more. In fact, this video will show you two possibilities, and below I share even more ideas.

But before you start thinking about how you are going to add some pizzazz to your sweet treats, here is the basic recipe for Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies…
