No Flour - Peanut Butter Cookies

These are sooo quick and easy to make it's untrue and just as well given how quickly they vanish once you've made them!




Ingredients:~
(Makes approx. 36 cookies)


2 cups peanut butter
2 cups caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
A few drops vanilla essence
Chocolate chips, chopped nuts or whatever you fancy adding!


Method:~


1. Preheat your oven to 175C/325F/Gas Mark 3


2. Cream the peanut butter and sugar together in a large bowl.


3. Add the eggs one at a time followed by the baking powder and vanilla essence.


4. If adding, mix in your chocolate chips or chopped nuts now.


5. Lay a sheet of baking paper onto a baking sheet.


6. Roll teaspoon sized amounts of the mixture into balls between your hands and put on the sheet, remembering to leave space between as they will spread out when cooking. (I usually end up with between 9 and 12 cookies per sheet but it would depend on the size of your baking sheet.)


7. Using a fork, press down each ball making a criss-cross pattern on the top.




8. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes and allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. (If you want chewy cookies, bake for closer to 8 minutes. If you like yours crunchier, leave them a minute or two longer!)


The hard part is leaving them to cool long enough before you start nibbling them! 
ENJOY!!



As always, leave me a note if you try any of my recipes to let me know how you got on...and if you have any suggestions or alternative methods of your own! Happy Baking!
