You CAN make peanut butter cookies with just peanut butter and no butter, but peanut butter doesn't have as high a fat content as butter, so I find that I prefer the texture of a peanut butter cookie that is made with the combo of peanut butter AND butter.
These gluten-free peanut butter cookies are so good no I have been making this Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies recipe for over a decade now, and they are so simple and easy to make that you need to.

- Using an ice cream scoop scoop out 1 inch balls of cookie dough and place on a parchment lined baking pan. To make reindeer-shaped cookies, pin the bottom of the cookie dough ball slightly to form a pointy triangle shape, then gently flatten with the palm of your hand. Space cookies about 2 inches apart on your baking sheet and bake for 7 - 8 minutes, until set or just beginning to brown..
The cookies are so deliciously light, soft, chewy, and better than any other peanut butter cookie—vegan or not—that I've ever tried. These peanut butter honey cookies are healthy, gluten-free and have the perfect texture. I find that I'm constantly on the hunt for new cookie flavors. Whether it's reinventing a classic chocolate chip cookie. This post is sponsored by Pampered Chef, whose baking products I have used and loved for years.
