These delicious, 5-Ingredient flourless peanut butter cookies are so easy to make and naturally gluten free.

I couldn’t resist dipping these flourless peanut butter cookies into dark chocolate once they were cooled.  But you certainly could skip the extra step and enjoy the peanut butter cookies as-is, sans the chocolate.

    where do the 4.6 grams sugar come from? The erythritol? The chocolate?

    Hi Dani, can I use other sugar than erythritol? I don’t like the taste of it.

      Yes! Any granulated sugar will work in its place. It’s a 1:1 swap.

        I made the cookies using milk chocolate dipping baking chips I had on hand, with the salt sprinkles, and they tasted just like a brand name Peanut Butter Cup. AMAZING!

    Thank you for the answer to the temperature. I couldn’t find it anywhere in the recipe. Could you please tell me if the cookies are soft and dough-like when they are done?

      These cookies are delicious! Even my husband liked them. They looked a bit softer when they came out of the oven but they hardened a bit and taste perfect!!! Yum!

      Hi Sharon, they are flour-less which will result in a more soft rather than a dough-y texture.

    I do alot of baking with granulated Splenda. Sometimes the sweet is a bit dry with 1:1 splenda instead of sugar. I add some unsweetened applesauce to counteract the dryness.Now i need to cut the sodium in baking too, for my diabetic who now has chronic heart failure w/edema. Have you used any of the non-sodium baking soda or baking powder? Will leaving out added salt affect the leavening actions?

      I honestly have not tried that, but definitely give it a try and let me know how it turns out.
