If you think about it though, when you make a flourless cake you usually use a ground nut instead of flour, and as peanut butter is basically ground peanuts you have your flour substitute.
Not only did they look like a cookie, but they tasted amazing too, not too sweet and not at all dry, they are very moorish and the sprinkling of salt on the top is a nice touch, it adds an extra dimension........
We will be lucky if the batch i have made lasts till tomorrow!!!
Oh and did i say they are so easy to make, would be a great cookie to make with the kids!
Pre heat oven to 175c, 350f, gas mark 4
Makes about 28 cookies
1 cup of peanut butter (i used half smooth and half crunchy as that's all i had in the cupboard)
1 cup of soft brown sugar
1 large egg lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
course sea salt to sprinkle on top
Mix all the ingredients except the salt together.
Spoon dessert spoonfuls onto a ungreased tray about an inch apart, slightly flatten and using a fork make markings on the cookies, then sprinkle the salt on top.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Let cool on tray then transfer to a cooling rack.
Try not to eat them all at once........
I'm pretty sure we'll be making these this weekend!!!! They look SOO good Rach!
ReplyDeleteI made half with salt on and half without, so Joshua could have some.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't last long at all, now i just need to get another huge tube of peanut butter....lol
