No flour?

I've heard of these... they're perfect for people allergic to wheat!

Grubby,

How well I can relate to your username after a busy day of weeding and canning! I have that same recipe, the only difference is that mine also calls for a tsp. of vanilla.

 

And yes, suzyq, they work just fine w/o the flour. Personally, I find them to be a little too rich, but DH and one of his friends think that they are the best PB cookies ever.

 

I don't often make PB cookies - too expensive - but in looking at my "Diet for a Small Planet" book there is a recipe for a PB cookie that is "maybe" a bit healthier?

 

Beat until creamy:

1/2 cup oil

1 cup honey

 

Add and continue beating:

3/4 cup peanut butter

 

Beat in:

2 eggs, beaten

 

Then add:

 

1/2 cup instant dry milk

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp mace

1/4 tsp cloves

 

Stir in by hand:

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup raisins

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

 

Make sure everything is well blended. Drop by teaspoonfuls on an unoiled cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 325 F.

Boy, that is a simple one. Thanks.

I was looking for a simple recipe I could just toss

together and have cookies at a moments notice.

 

Another thing is my son can't have chocolate or dairy.

He can't have your run of the mill chocolate chip cookies

so I make a lot of peanut butter cookies.

 

It also helps to rotate my peanut butter stock.
