I was skeptical at first. Surely this defies the laws of science! But it was 15 minutes later when I realized...the cookie doesn't lie. Now, would you really believe that this peanut butter cookie contains exactly three ingredients: a cup of peanut butter, a cup of sugar, and an egg? And the best part...wait for it...no BUTTER or FLOUR. This makes these peanut butter cookies a tiny bit healthier than your average ones (well, only if i ignore the part about the sugar). And since they don't contain any flour, it's the perfect gluten-free treat. Seriously, why would you not make this? It's the perfect recipe for both the novice baker and those with more experience looking for a yummy and quick snack.
It still boggles my mind that you can just bake peanut butter and have it morph in the oven into a cookie that is slightly crisp around the edges and fabulously moist and chewy in the center. Just like how the ideal peanut butter cookie is supposed to be. I mean, if a cookie is this good without any flour, why take the trouble to add it? It is not like these needed it. Nope, not one bit.
Without the butter or the flour, I felt that the peanut butter flavor was even more pronounced. And for any peanut butter lover like me, that is the major selling point of this recipe. Now, some may deem these cookies too rich. In that case, you might not be able to eat more than one in a sitting. I ate two.
