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.

    Oh my god, thank you thank you thank you. I’m always looking for a peanut butter cookie recipe and I never find one without needing measuring cups. (We measure in grams here.) But this recipe is so easy with so little ingredients that it’s not really important that it’s measured in cups, I’ll just convert the peanut butter and sugar in grams and that’s it. Or I’ll just use some cup standing around. I don’t think it’s that much difference if it isn’t a regular measuring cup, right? And by the way, they look delicious.

      Hi Stephanie – was just thinking that the same quantity of peanut butter and sugar (1 cup) might not weigh the same amount in grams. Does that make sense? The way a cup of marshmallow would not weigh the same as a cup of concrete? Peanut butter and sugar are different substances, after all, so don’t go converting them into grams. Go with the second idea of using any old cup that’s lying around :)

    I love these with a Hershey’s Kiss instead of preserves OR mix chocolate chips into the dough.

    Peanut butter and jelly – my favorite combo. I can’t get enough peanut butter. One of these days you need to throw together a peanut butter and honey combination. I’d love you forever if you did!! :) :)

    I just have to comment to say that peanut butter is my ultimate after date – especially if it’s a bad date – food.

    What a great combo! My grandma made flourless pb cookies but she didnt use the baking soda and she used vanilla. I recently introduced them to my gluten free friend and she thanked me profusely! I’ll have to try these and pass them on. Thanks!

    I’ve made flour less peanut butter cookies before, but the decision to add preserves is brilliant. Can’t wait to try them this way!
