Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies (Gluten-Free)

We are usually more of a brownie or bar type sweets eater, but these flourless peanut butter cookies had us at hello. They are gooey and peanut buttery and even can be dipped in chocolate for a little extra pizzaz!

Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter (see recipe for homemade peanut butter on our blog here)
½ cup granulated sugar*
1 egg lightly beaten
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp sea salt
1 cup Farm Fresh Nuts Freshly Roasted Peanuts Unsalted
½ cup chocolate chips (optional) mini or regular, or chopped chocolate
Extra chocolate to drizzle.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Mix together peanut butter and sugar.

Add egg, vanilla and salt and stir until combined.

Mix in peanuts and if you like chocolate chips.

Roll 1 TBS portions of dough into balls and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (or use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheet)

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until bottoms are just barely browned.

Let the cookies sit on the pan for 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool.

Ingredient Substitutions

Chocolate. Drizzling chocolate on top of these cookies, or adding chocolate chips to the batter, is optional, but delicious!
