The Best (Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies) I’ve Ever Had

You may be thinking, cookies without flour? Whaaaat? Yes, such things do exist! I was watching the Food Network channel (big shock), and was watching Claire Robinson’s 5 Ingredient Fix. I can totally relate to the whole “5 ingredient” theme considering I’m on such a tight budget. Sometimes I already have 3 out of the 5 ingredients at my disposal so I really only have to go out a buy a few things, which saves me a lot of money. One money-saving recipe are the flourless peanut butter cookies. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• In medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined
• Spoon a tablespoon of the combined mixture onto baking sheets. I recommend greasing the pan beforehand.
• Flatten the mounds you have on the pan with a fork, making a crosshatch pattern. You can also add chocolate chips, coconut, etc. on top.
• Bake until golden around edges, up to 10 min. But, keep checking to make sure they don’t get burned.
