Peanut butter cookies are usually a big disappointment for me. Peanut butter cookies tend to bake up very dry because of the way that the peanut butter affects the cookie texture. And that’s a huge shame, because peanut butter is so delicious on its own! However, the other day, I came across a recipe that seemed very promising: a flourless peanut butter cookie recipe. Suspend your disbelief, because removing the flour from the recipe actually improves the texture by a mile. These cookies bake up moist, dense, and chewy to boot. Even better: It’s only 4 ingredients! Of course, a classic style of peanut butter cookie is a peanut butter blossom, and with extra Hershey’s kisses around, I just had to make them into blossoms. What’s just one more ingredient when you’re only using 4? Definitely a great decision. You’ve got to try these!
Ingredients
You only need 5 ingredients (which you probably already have in your cupboard, so what are you waiting for?)
- Dark brown sugar
- Eggs
- Smooth peanut butter (avoid using natural peanut butter for this recipe)
- Vanilla extract
- Hershey’s Kisses
Tips
- These are generous cookies! A great trick to portion them out easily is to use an ice cream scoop.
- If the dough feels too soft to work with, try chilling it before scooping.
- Try to use a peanut butter without much added sugar/salt. If you would like, you can add 1/2 - 1 tsp of salt into the dough when you are making the cookies.
