4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies (Gluten Free)



These wonderful little cookies require only four ingredients!  And no flour which make them perfect for gluten-free diets!  Chances are you already have the ingredients in your home.  So if you're craving something sweet but want to be able to whip something together in a snap and not have a big mess to clean up afterwards these cookies are for you!

Add everything in a bowl...  


Mix together until all is blended...


Scoop out and place on cookie sheet, then gotta add the little fork prints to give it that classic peanut butter cookie look.


Bake for 15 minutes and wah-lah!  I like how they don't come out super flat or crunchy.  Next time I make these I might even decrease the time to 13 minutes because we like really soft cookies around here.




4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Yield: 13 decent-sized cookies

Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  In a large bowl, cream together all of the ingredients with a hand mixer until creamy.  Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls.  Place about 1-inch apart on a silpat lined or greased cookie sheet.  Flatten gently with the tines of a fork.  Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove to wire racks and allow to cool.

*This cookie can be made with lots of variations.  You can place a mini-sized Reese's cup or Rolo in the center of each cookie dough ball or add chocolate chips or chopped peanuts and then bake as directed.
