Easiest Peanut Butter Cookies

Can you substitute Almond Butter for peanut butter? Would any of the other ingredients then change with this substitution ?

Hello - Unfortunately, we have not tried this substitution, and we're not sure if the consistency would be the same. If you do give it a try, please let us know how it turns out!

These cookies are so easy and really great. They stay well in a zip-bag for at least a week or more. I say make them, you won't be disappointed....

Soooooo good! I actually adjusted slightly...I'm ok to have honey, but not sugar, so I swapped 1/4 honey instead of full cup of sugar and they turned out great! Thanks for sharing! Yum!

I've made these cookies for the last 40 years and they are wonderful tasting and so easy. I normally make the recipe times 4 or 5 so we have lots of them. My boys request these yearly for their birthdays and any other occasion they can thing of. My younger son is in the military and I would ship these to him monthly during his deployments. They always came through wonderfully and still tasted fresh. His fellow soldiers always enjoyed them also! We highly recommend this recipe.

I make these all the time but I put a mini peanut butter cup in the center of each one when I take them out of the oven, wait a minute or so and spread the chocolate around on the top. Everybody loves them!

I was just looking for this recipe and couldn't find mine. The easiest and tastiest. And I have tried splenda before because I have a diabetic son. The cookies just crumbled. They looked great but didn't hold together. Now I have noticed they have granulated splenda so that might make a difference. But without the flour he can have some cookies with regular sugar if we watch the carbs. This is a great cookie but the splenda that I used said cup for cup like regular sugar and great for baking but the cookies were a big disappointment because on the pan they looked great but when my son and I went to remove them they just crumbled to pieces. So I haven't used splenda in baking since. But as I mentioned I have seen a granulated splenda that might make a difference in the texture. Good luck and let us know if it works for you!

This is a great recipe got it off of the food network 5 ingredient fix show. I made them for my family they loved them and they are requested alot I make them alot. they are easy and fast and taste wonderful. Once you make these you will not want to use the flour recipe again. I swapped it up with my family and they could tell the difference. this recipe is preferred.

I received this recipe from a friend from Michigan 45 years ago while we were stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, we have been making them ever since, have passed it on to my daughter-in-law and daughter, it's our stand by Peanut Butter Cookie, first time I have ever seen it printed though.

I remember making this as a child in the Girl Scouts, only we called them "Cuppa Cuppa Egg" cookies. None of us never needed to remember a recipe, it's all in the title. "cuppa" peanut butter, "cuppa" sugar, and an "egg." As I became an adult, I discovered that a bit of vanilla helps. I'm glad you did too! p.s. I was a girl scout over 40 years ago. This is a very old recipe. Nothing new about it. Everyone just needs to calm themselves down and try the recipe. It is written correctly.

Very good and easy cookie. Little Kids & Big Kids will devour them. The egg helps them to rise and really no need for flour, our son can't eat gluten and these are great for him. Make extra and roll the extra into walnut size and then into granulated sugar put in plastic bag and freeze, sugar keeps them from sticking together and you can thaw them quicker. Ummmm Good!!

I have used this recipe many times, however used Splenda sugar-substitute at 1 1/2 cups. They really are wonderful for those watching sugar intake. Sugar free except for the sugar in the peanut butter. WONDERFUL

Thanks again "Mr. Food"! This was a recipe I almost forgot about; it is real easy and 'yummy'! I have some friends who cannot have 'glutens' so this is a 'tasty blessing'! As a suggestion; mix ingredients, then make into ball-form and bake, while still hot from the oven (slightly) push a 'chocolate kiss' in the center. My grandkids love these! Once again, "THANK YOU" for all your tasty recipes, and ideas. Sincerely, ( little ole' cook in Ohio ) Sherry

I'm not sure about the dough but you can make the cookies then cover with a little sugar and freeze. then you can take out just the amount you need at the time.

Honestly, there is NO flour in this cookie and it is by far the most flavorful peanut butter cookie you could ever eat! Pure peanut butter taste and so simple. Make up a triple batch and freeze part of it. You will NOT regret it! Give it a try! I was so surprised at how wonderfully peanut buttery these are!
