Bailey's Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

SB6's Note:

My precious granddaughter has to have wheatfree, flourfree foods. Her birthday is always a problem because I have tried several recipes for cakes & cupcakes but the taste is always terrible. I made these last year for her birthday. Unfortunately I only made one recipe. Everyone there thought they were delicious.

These are great cookies! I was quite surprised that they stayed together into nice round cookies. They do not spread at all and crinkle a bit around the edges. I received 2 dozen small cookies by rolling them into walnut sized balls. Very quick to put together. Because they don't spread you can place a good amount on the baking sheet. Made for your 2009 Week 8 Football Pool win!

My daughter has been making these for years without the baking powder. Sometimes she uses brown sugar and sometimes white. She puts flaked salt on top of some and turbino sugar on others. They're great all ways. Might have to head to the kitchen to make some now.

Excellent recipe for a quick afternoon tea or an emergency gluten free treat.
