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!

This recipe was recommended in the Best of 2010 tag game and I was anxious to try it out. I added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and subbed brown sugar for half of the regular sugar. Sorry, I forgot to roll the cookies in the sugar before baking. After removing from the oven I lightly sprinkled each cookie with sugar. Would have used raw sugar but I was all out. As others did, I also made the familiar crisscross pattern with a fork. An oiled cookie scoop was helpful in handling and shaping the dough. My daughter and I enjoyed baking these and they are simple and quick which is a big plus when you're cooking with a toddler. Thanks for posting!

Amazing that these cookies can taste so good without the use of flour or milk in the recipe! We are experimenting with going gluten-free and dairy-free to try to resolve a few problems with my daughter's health. She had been feeling a bit deprived until she tasted these cookies yesterday. I love them, too! Great, easy peanut butter cookies. Thank you for posting! I did flatten my cookies with a fork before baking. Made for the Best of 2010 tag game, recommended by Starrynews. :)
