The Crafty Hostess 2011 Virtual Holiday Cookie Swap

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies Submitted By: Sharon P. - Wilmington, NC “I got this recipe from a cookbook I received as a wedding gift in 1982. It’s a cookbook that a local school had put together for a fundraiser and was full of so many great recipes that I still use today.

These are the easiest peanut butter cookies you will ever make.”

(Batch size will depend on how big you make your cookies. I have gotten 3 dozen small bite size cookies and I have made them pretty big and only gotten about 18. So this will all depend on you and your preference.)

Ingredients: • 1 cup creamy peanut butter • 1 cup sugar • 1 egg • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips How to: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, mix together all of the

ingredients. Mix until the ingredients are smooth and creamy.

2. Form dough into small balls about one inch in diameter. Place

on an ungreased cookie sheet. Using a fork, mash the balls down

and make an X on them. Bake in preheated oven about 6-8

minutes.

Note: Since there is no flour in this recipe, you will need to watch the cookies very closely while baking so they do not scorch. Some ovens may cook faster than others and cooking times will vary. This is also a great recipe for children to make!
