  1. These are really amazing. My whole family enjoyed them and no one can believe they only have 3 ingredients! Be sure to flatten them far enough or the middles will not cook through.
     
  2. these are the same pb cookies that i have grown up on - the only difference is that my mom has always used brown sugar in them instead of granulated. i think it adds a lot to the flavor, so give it a try. these cookies are also very good topped with hershey's kisses right out of the oven.
     
  3. Cookies without flour! I'd looked and looked at this recipe, and decided Recipezaar Day (Feb.10/02) was the time to try it. I'm pleased to report that this recipe really does work -- you get cookies! Good cookies! I really liked them; they're sweet and have a strong peanut butter taste. Extremely easy to make! The only thing I did differently was chill the dough for 15 minutes before making them. Oh, and my yield was 24 cookies, making the fat and calorie count a little lower than listed here :-)
     
  4. I made these because I couldn't believe you could make pb cookies with three ingredients! They are surprisingly good--- but WAY too sweet for me. Is there a way to cut the sweetness without disturbing the balance in the recipe? Folks at work loved them, but also found them pretty sweet.
     
  5. great cookies,i used a lot less sugar 1/4 cup+ a smidge.they turned out great,thanks dancer

  1. Oh my GOODNESS!! YUM YUM YUM! These are delicious. However, I put 2 eggs instead of 1, 1/2 cup of oats, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla. I LOVE peanut butter, so i put about 2 cups of Crunch Peanut Butter in there. Oh, I also did what other people suggested and put 1/2 cup of sugar instead. Perfect!! I'm seriously in love right now! I also baked for only 10 minutes.
     
  2. These cookies were amazing and SO easy to make! I wasn't sure how they would turn out since I used brown sugar instead of granulated sugar (and since I've never made cookies without flour before) but the cookies ended up being fabulous!
     
  3. These cookies are delicious. For less sugar, use splenda instead of sugar.I used the smallest ice-cream scoop I have and got 30 cookies instead of 18. (Recipe #10269 is a better recipe or if you want a flourless recipe use #17943)
     
  4. These were awesome! I added my own little twist and instead of sugar used splenda, an egg white, and threw in a scoop of caramel chocolate whey protein!
     
  5. Maybe it is what I did that made these "way less than great." I used Peanut Butter & Company's Dark Chocolate Dreams instead of regular peanut butter. They are way too sweet and grainy from the sugar. It was worth a shot though and I may try it again with regular peanut butter.
