I was a bit taken aback to see there was no flour in this recipe and thought it might be a mistake, but then found other flourless peanut butter cookie recipes so gave it a go. I made this to use up some smooth peanut butter my husband bought (I usually like the chunky kind) but I think it was just a little too liquid as it was hard to make the dough into balls. The cookies are tasty but rather greasy and inclined to fall apart, and I think now I understand the principle of peanut-butter jelly cookies I will be able to make them using a regular cookie recipe.
