Once again, I have another recipe from my mom…and this time it’s cookies. I have a few cousins who are gluten intolerant, so my mom made these cookies for them. However, everyone in the family fell in love with them. Last week we had a potluck at work and I conned (actually, I asked nicely) my mom into making a batch, because while I like to take homemade stuff to potlucks, I don’t always have the time to make something. So my mommy came to my rescue, and everyone at work fell in love with the cookies. I had numerous requests for the recipe, so I figured it would be a perfect choice for Weekend Cooking.
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips
1 C Super Chunky Peanut Butter (note from softdrink’s mom: I like Skippy) (note from softdrink: Choosy moms choose Skippy)
3/4 C Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
1 C Mini Chocolate Chips
350 degree oven. Mix together everything but the Chocolate Chips in a bowl & mix well. Add in the Chips & mix. Roll in walnut size balls & place on cookie sheet. You may want to wet your hands as the dough is sticky. Bake for 12 min. Let cool for 5 min. on cookie sheet & remove to rack.
Easy-peasy. Or so I hear. They’re definitely easy to eat! Consensus at work is that they’re the best peanut butter cookie ever.
I also like how my mom capitalizes all of the ingredients in her recipes. Kind of like those old Novels where Nouns are always capitalized.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — your mom is the best! These sound fabulous. I’ll have to make them for my dad — who loves peanut butter so much, he eats it straight out of the jar.

Easy-peasy recipe. But easier-peasier: calling your mom! Great sounding recipe. I have always felt flour is just a distraction from peanut butter, chocolate chips, and the like.

Ooh, the chocolate chips in there would make the cookies even more delcious.
I really like your mom and this little taste she gave you/us. The capitalization makes the recipe look just right. The other thing I like is that this recipe not only leaves out flour but there is no fat (shortening or butter). I’m going to give it a try.

A peanut butter cookie without flour you say? Oh yes, I need to try these! I am a diabetic, so flourless cookie is a big deal for me, and I am going to have to try these. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I’ve tried these before for the exact reason. My sister is gluten intolerant and I like to make her a treat occasionally. We all think they turn out quite well.
