These mini peanut butter cookies are the perfect bite-sized treat to satisfy your sweet tooth. Requiring only five ingredients that you likely already have in your fridge or pantry, these cookies are perfect for those times you’re craving a sweet treat but are low on time.
These peanut butter cookies are also flourless, which means that they are naturally gluten-free. So if that matters to you, it’s an added bonus!
Whether you are new to the kitchen or an experienced baker, you’ll be delighted at how quick, easy, and yummy these cookies are- plus they’re adorable! Let’s dive into the recipe…
Flourless Mini Peanut Butter Cookies (Only 5 Ingredients)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar (See Note 1 below)
- ¼ cup white granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (shop my favorite on Amazon)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Combine the peanut butter, light brown sugar, white granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix the dough on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until all the ingredients are well incorporated.1 cup peanut butter, ½ cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup white granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 egg
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (I use the pre-cut parchment sheets that I linked above– they make life so much easier).
- Using a #40 cookie scoop (1.5 tbsp), measure out and roll the dough into small balls. After placing them on your sheet pan, crosshatch the cookies using a fork. I bake about 12 cookies at a time on a regular sheet pan, although you could fit more if you’d like as they don’t spread very much (See Note 2 below).
- Bake the cookies for 8 minutes at 350°F. When the cookies are done, the dough should no longer look wet and the cookie edges should just barely be turning golden brown. (See Note 3 below)
- Once removed from the oven, let the cookies sit on the sheet pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. They will be very soft and fragile when they first come out of the oven, so do not try to move them right away. They will also continue to bake a little bit on the tray.
- Let the cookies cool and enjoy! They are a perfect little treat for any peanut butter lovers.
