Easy 3-Ingredient Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
It needs to be said: these are the most simple cookies to make!
This beginner-friendly recipe is delicious on it’s own, but also allows budding chefs to get creative with additions and substitutions. These cookies are quite filling thanks to the peanut butter, and they’re naturally gluten free since they contain no flour.
Either create these cookies as written, or play around with the ingredients. The key is to keep a 1-1-1 ratio between the peanut butter, egg, and desired sugar / sweetener (1 cup peanut butter - 1 cup sugar - 1 egg).
Play around, and enjoy!
