I will make some of my very favorite cookies today. Flourless peanut butter cookies are very good. The intense taste of the sugar and the peanut butter come to the forefront without flour. You use a few simple ingredients, and that is it. I am not sure I will go back to regular peanut butter cookies, unless I am making them for a group. All hail flourless cookies!

I make those for my son-in-law who can't have gluten. I use one cup of peanutbutter, one cup of sugar, one egg, and a little vanilla extract. Is that how you make yours? Sometimes I throw in some chocolate chips.

I think my girlfriend makes flourless cookies. Actually, I think she substitutes something in place of the flour. Can't remember what it is she uses. Almond flour? Is that a thing? For some reason that's what is jumping out of my head.

@moffittjc it isn't really needed but it makes them go further.

@snowy22315 I'm not much of a cook, so I don't know the answer to this, but why is flour needed at all if you can make the cookies without them?

They are scrumptious..most of the recipes say you should use natural peanut butter, but they are fine with regular peanut butter.

@paigea I think they taste best with that, it is kind of a deeper, richer flavor.

@snowy22315 it might look even better if you include the photo in your discussion so that we can all see the cake you made

I don´t buy peanut butter. Thius has been an acquired taste for me. We don´t have it in my country.

@snowy22315 I have a new lemon slice that I've been making and I am pretty addicted to that at the moment.

No peanut butter cookies here. If I need a peanut butter fix I just get myself a scoop of peanut butter. No flour, no sugar, just straight peanut butter (I buy the natural stuff).

Not too much of a fan of straight up peanut butter..but I like it on celery and fruit.
