If you have stocked up on Peanut Butter, you might be looking for something a little different to make. These are a different twist on Peanut Butter Cookies. This is not a traditional cookie, it is a much crunchier, crispy type treat. If you are looking for a traditional, soft cookie – this is not it.
These cookie crisp are VERY simple to make. In fact, scary simple. You cannot help but think, really thats it?

No Flour Peanut Butter Cookie Crisps
Ingredients:
- 2 cups peanut butter
- 2 cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mix Peanut Butter and Sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the baking soda, salt, and vanilla. Make sure you mix it well, with no lumps.
The batter will seem very “liquidy”. Let it sit for a few minutes.
3. Roll batter into 1 inch balls. (note – they will be really greasy feeling – so will your hands!)
4. Place balls about 2 inches apart.
5. Press a criss-cross into the top using the back of a fork. (if you want)
6. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes. Remove when the edges firm up. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Let sit for a few minutes to allow to cool and firm up.
Remember, these are crisps and not traditional cookies, they will be a little bit more “crumbly”.

I add a couple tablespoons of flour to this recipe (I know it defeates the purpose) because I didn’t like how grainy they were without. Otherwise I LOVE this recipe! I make them all the time for my husband to take to work (can’t leave them around the house otherwise they disappear. ;).
