Flourless Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

June 13, 2010 by Joy the Baker 155 Comments

Flourless Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

These cookies got me thinking about all the different ways that I enjoy peanut butter and jelly.  You know I love a list… so here goes.
I love peanut butter and jelly:

on white bread with the crust cut off.
rolled up in a warm flour tortilla.
on a toasted bagel, excluding the dreaded onion bagel.
on a spoon.
at midnight.
at lunch from a plastic bag.
with a Capri Sun.
after a date.
after a breakup.
with a banana.
without a stinkin’ banana.
on Wednesday.
every Wednesday.
from now.
until forever.
amen.

I could go on. and on and. on. Really… let’s cut to the cookie.

Flourless Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

Flourless Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

These flourless peanut butter cookies are my go-to cookie recipe.  There are only four ingredients.  This recipe is heroic.  They’re super simple, crisp little cookies.  Make a little indentation in the center of these cookies, add your favorite jam, bake em up… you’ve got peanut butter and jelly cookies.

It’s not rocket science.  It is super yumtown.

makes about 32 small cookies

Print this Recipe!

1 cup all-natural chunky or smooth peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon baking soda

about 1/4 cup any fruit preserves you fancy

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease a baking sheet with butter and set aside.  In a mixer combine peanut butter and sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes.  Add egg and baking soda and mix for another 2 minutes.  The dough will be crumbly.  Roll into teaspoon sized balls and make a small indentation in the center of the dough ball with your pointer finger.   Fill the depression with fruit preserves.  Bake for 12 minutes, until lightly browned.  Cool on a baking sheet for two minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

    Oooo! I love recipes like this for times that I run out of flour but really really want cookies.

    Also, I like the peanut butter on a spoon, but I usually dunk that peanut butter covered spoon in a cup of cheerios. Yum!!

    These look so cute!

    But I have a peanut allergy, do you think MaraNatha Almond Butter would work? My favorite sandwich lately is Almond Butter with Blackberry preserves.

    I would love to try a twist on this recipe!

    I’ve made your flourless peanut butter cookies and the are, indeed, yum. I never thought to make thumbprint cookies out of them and now I’m all, “Duh.”

    Mmmmm, how can you go wrong with PB+J? I’m such a chunky PB girl, and I bet these are so tasty and crumbly and crunchy! I have a ton of cashew butter in my fridge though… wonder if that would work?

      I’ve made this cookie recipe with cashew, walnut, hazelnut, and almond butters (at different times), and they work, but usually need a little bit of flour, or else they turn into cookie crumbs when you bite them. Unless you make one bite cookies :)

    Hmmm….you seem to be feeling a little “Dr. Seussish” today. I’ve never baked the flourless peanut butter cookies, but your post made me want peanut butter and jelly right now.

    The only thing that would make these better would be dipped in chocolate!

    Oh my gosh. I just made these and I gotta say they are amazing. I’m 23 weeks pregnant and one of the worst cravings I have is for PB&J! Oh goodness, the babeh is very happy.
