These quick and easy cookies contain just 3 ingredients (plus optional vanilla and almond extracts). Although flour-less and gluten-free, the cookies have a delightfully crisp edge. Thanks for watching!
Ingredients for about 2 dozen cookies:
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
Optional flavorings: 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extra, 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
Hi I’m Kevin I have no intention of filming a video this late at night it’s already 9:30 p.m. but I suddenly had this inconsolable urge to eat peanut butter cookies okay I’m weird anyway guess what I am going to make for you first up preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit yeah
These cookies are incredibly easy to make what you do is put 1 cup of creamy peanut butter in the bowl then add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 large egg and then these next two ingredients are optional I’m going to add about a teaspoon this vanilla extract this is the extract that
I made last summer oh it’s wonderful has vanilla seeds in it and I’m also going to add just a tiny splash a pure almond extract this way the cookies will have a beautiful perfume and then stir and the cookie dough is going to seem very loose at
First so just keep stirring and it was definite up yeah – already starting to get thick you’ll know you’re about there when your arm feels tired but you need the dough thick enough or stiff enough so that you can actually form the cookies and we are
Good to go next put a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet and then to form the cookies take a small clump of the dough and roll it between the palms of your hands until you have a 1-inch diameter ball and in the comment section
Below tell me if you ever get late-night cravings and what if anything you do about them I’m going to finish these off and then I’ll come right back alright I managed to form 24 little balls of dough on this cookie sheet so next flatten each one just slightly and then take a
Fork and for these to be proper peanut butter cookies we want to make crosshatch marks so you take the tines of the fork and make an indentation on each cookie going in one direction if you have kids in your house this would be a very fun project for them to do
Would be a very delicious project for them to do then turn the cookie sheet around and make indentations going in the other direction I’ll give you a close-up in just a moment yeah these cookies are almost dangerously easy to do because once you’ve made them you might want to make
Them too often so here we go see the cross hatches I’m going to bake these in the preheated oven for exactly 15 minutes and here they are boy they really smell terrific I’m going to let them cool on the pan for oh five minutes and then I’ll transfer them to this
Cooling rack for about ten minutes then we can have a taste show time these cookies are really amazing although they contain no flour they’re gluten-free the edges are crispy and the inside is softened and wonderful and of course you can really smell the vanilla and the tiny bit of almond extract mmm
Or perfectly perfumed YUM all right I’m going to bring these cookies upstairs and Benji at least some of them while binge watching something ribboning on TV I hope you’ll give the cookies a try again they’re super easy to do and so delicious to eat and if you haven’t
Subscribed to my youtube channel yet I hope you’ll do so right now and be sure to tap the little bell icon so that you can receive notifications every time I upload a new video and what else do I want to say oh yes again if you have late-night cravings tell me what you
Crave and what you do about it food-related of course I’ll see you next time and thank you so much for watching IV night

Ah, those late night cravings! I always have a handy jar of crunchy peanut butter, along with various rye crackers. I spread the crackers with the crunchy peanut butter, and maybe a squirt of agave nectar. Since I'm diabetic, if I actually want to bake cookies from scratch, I have to find an alternate sugar. Allulose works very well as my sweetening agent, but one day I am going to try Agave nectar.
Not weird at all 😆
Bake at what temperature
Thank you very much!!! I can help my girlfriend 🧡. Thanks so much i can back her lots so i can be an amazing wife
I just made these! They're in the oven right now..I hope it turns out well! I'll update the results!
A must try awesome
Just learned my neighbor is gluten intolerant. Will try these. Thank
So very delicious that I like 👍
Thanks a bunch for this! It seems almost too good to be true. Have my cookies in the oven as I type and I can't wait to try um.
Best cookies ever! Ps.late night cookie cravings dont make you weird!
Magnifique!! Mawah!!
Perfect little cookie. I’ve made these for years. Must add the almond extract to my next batch!
Yes I do have late night cravings. I usually crave nuts or chips, but I have to keep the chips out of the house. If I want something sweet, I have Greek yogurt with a little honey. I do indulge my cravings because, I can't sleep if I'm hungry. Re these cookies, I have almond butter on hand so may try that.
OK so, I used almond butter and powdered stevia/erythritol sweetener. They turned out just fine.
What temperature?
How annoying that I cannot find what you preheated your oven to. I’ve listen to the video twice and don’t see it in the description either.
Made these and they turned out perfect!
These cookies are one of my childhood favorites. I am blessed to not have any peanut allergies. Your cookies look grand! Thank you for this 'sweet-treat' recipe!
No late night cravings! Stop the madness!! Say it ain’t so!!
Pass the peanut butter cookies! 😂😂❤
What temperature?
im hunting for an easy baklava recipe..something about the honey..and the walnuts..
Wonderful! Going to try 😃
Hi Kevin
I'm trying to decide if I want to make this recipe or your almond butter cookie. 🤔
I noticed the almond butter recipe calls for 1 tsp of baking soda but this was not listed for the peanut butter recipe. Should I add this?
Kevin I get late night cravings for something yummy all the time. One of my favorite snacks is roasted garlic cloves, served on a cracker! But I'm sure these cookies would also do the trick. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Just made them they are astronomically delicious and easy to make so I choose to use organic eggs & organic peanut butter but you forgot to tell us how many degrees to set the oven at?? either way thank you for the recipe. 😮
I like these better than the no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies
I’m making them today!🥰🤗🥰
Sometimes I want peanut butter, too. I usually just take a half teaspoon of creamy pb, and spread it on half a piece of sandwich bread, and cut the crusts..so there are 2 tea sandwich bites, with a small cup of decaffeinated black tea…plain…chilled for hot weather, nuked 1-2minutes on high for cold weather, and that usually suffices…..I try not to ignore big cravings because then I end up thinking about it all night long
I wonder if this cookie recipe can be done with almond butter or sunflower butter too?
What do you think, Kevin?
I’m gluten free and I made them
They are great and super fast
The texture of a real cookie
Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much!! This is the best gift for my friends who can't eat gluten!!!
👍👍
What an interesting twist adding the extracts to these cookies!!! Can’t wait to try this recipe…!!! I plan to rewatch this video—very likely several times!!!
Love the vanilla and almond extract in these—
Use pure peanut butter without the added sugar and oil;. un-needed!! 🙂
allergies to peanuts? use pistachio butter instead, much taster and healthier too!
