[The British Kitchen] Super Easy Peanut Butter Cookies (No Flour, No Butter)
Discover how to make delightful peanut butter cookies that are wonderfully crisp on the outside and soft, moist on the inside, all without using flour or butter! These cookies are naturally sweet, making them a perfect companion for your coffee or tea. Ideal for beginner bakers!
Ingredients- 200g Peanut Butter (creamy or chunky, as you prefer)
- 120g Granulated Sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 1 Large Egg
- A little extra sugar for topping (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine 200g of peanut butter, 120g of granulated sugar, and 1 large egg. If you’re using creamy peanut butter, you’ll achieve a smoother cookie texture. For a bit more bite, opt for chunky peanut butter with visible peanut pieces. Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into balls of your desired size, placing them onto the prepared baking sheet. For an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal, gently press a bit of sugar onto the top of each cookie. Skipping the sugar topping is also perfectly fine; the cookies will still be deliciously nutty and sweet. (Tip: I made bite-sized cookies and got about 24 in total.)
Step 3
To add a classic look and texture, use the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie ball. You can also simply press down gently with a spoon. This step is optional but enhances the cookie’s appearance and contributes to a crispier finish.
Step 4
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven. The cookies are ready when they turn a light golden brown around the edges.
Step 5
Once baked, carefully remove the cookies from the oven. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before gently peeling them off the parchment paper. This prevents them from breaking. Enjoy your homemade peanut butter cookies!
