When you are mixing the dough, don’t overmix it. Mix until all the ingredients are just combined. The dough is thick and, initially, will be ‘grainy’ from the sugar. However, that sugar will dissolve into the dough so don’t be concerned over it.
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe
I used a 1.5 tablespoon spring release scoop so that I would have all the same size cookies. This is important so that they all cook at the same time. Using this measurement, you’ll get about 12 cookies.
Scoop the cookies onto the room temperature baking pan. Place dough balls 2-inches apart. You can flatten cookies slightly if you prefer. I did. I sprayed a flat-bottom glass with non-stick spray and flatten them. These cookies don’t spread much or flatten much on their own.
Bake for 8 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops are barely set. They may appear underbaked but they will firm up as they cool. Don’t overbake or they’ll be really crumbly.
How do I store these cookies?
Keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I never bake the entire batch at once. Rather, I bake as many as we want and keep the dough refrigerated. This way we have fresh cookies regularly. We love them warm the best!
