A quarter cup of creamy peanut butter keeps the cookie texture rich and buttery. Unsweetened is best if you can find it, the dates have the sweetness thing covered. The flourless and grain-free dry ingredient at work here to balance all that date sticky-ness and simultaneously bump up the peanut flavor is powdered peanut butter. So the base ingredient that binds them, sweetens them, and makes up about 50% of the dough is medjool dates.

These cookies were inspired by my favorite little flourless chocolate crinkle cookies. These cookies are 5 ingredients, one food processor, less than 30 minutes from pitting the dates to biting into a scrumptious cookies. That’s what’s happening here, and I am not the least bit mad about this hybrid. Imagine a peanut butter cookie Larabar. And imagine a warm, soft-baked peanut butter cookie. Now take a bit of both those scenarios, smush it all together, and behold… No wait…they blew right past the mark and into exceeds snack expectations territory. Just thought you should know.īut I set out on a mission to make the best easy/healthy/yummy/all-the-adjectives-cookie-dreams-are-made-of peanut butter cookie my tastebuds could imagine, and I think these Chewy Grain-Free Peanut Butter Cookies hit the mark. So I guess what I’m saying is that my recipe index is not an accurate representation of my feelings towards peanut butter. And I especially adore it with chocolate, yet it seems most of my past peanut butter recipes don’t involve PB’s cacao bestie. See looky HERE – cold ice creamy peanut butter proof. I drop the ball on peanut butter things much too often, but I swear I really do love the stuff. And also mini muffins, but I haven’t had the chance to solve that bite-sized dilemma quite yet. And, as you probably already guessed, this time the sweet essential in question was peanut butter cookies. I just had one of those incredulous “How do I not have a recipe on the blog by now?!” moments.
