Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies – Four Ways

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!
