If you've run out of flour, or you can't eat it, you can still make these easy gluten-free flourless peanut butter cookies<\/strong> made with all-natural peanut butter<\/em>! These easy peanut butter cookies are soft and chewy and made without flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, you could substitute gluten-free flour mixes for all-purpose flour in the classic peanut butter cookie recipe<\/a> or in your favourite giant peanut butter cookies<\/a> under most circumstances, but that's not what this recipe is about! This recipe is about simplifying the cookie to the most basic ingredients that *most* people will have in their cupboards and their fridges, without a trip to the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tested this small-batch nut butter cookie recipe with all-natural peanut butter, almond butter and even tahini (sesame butter) and sunflower seed butter to show that these flourless cookies can be made with any all-natural nut butter or seed butter you have. And since you make this recipe by hand with just a bowl and a spoon, it's a great activity to do with kids!<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

Why Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Developing a flourless cookie is tricky, given that the role of flour in baking is so important. You can't just omit the flour and expect a cookie recipe to perform as usual. This is where ground nuts and nut butters come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuts are a combination of fat, fibre, and protein, so smooth nut butters can actually replace both the flour and the butter in a cookie recipe by providing structure and fat to cookies.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
