90-Second Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Ninety seconds refers to how long it takes to mix up the dough. Unfortunately, it also took about 90 seconds for the adults in this house to eat half the batch of cookies (ok, probably more but let's not talk about it)!

I had to make of couple of small changes to the original recipe despite the fact that there are only 3 ingredients. I didn't have enough peanut butter so I used a mix of whatever we had: organic peanut, cashew and almond butter.  I'm sure it works well with any nut or seed butter.  Instead of 1 cup refined sugar, I used 1/2 coconut sugar and 1/2 maple flakes. Next time, I will try to reduce the amount of sugar altogether.

Ingredients  

• 1.5 cups all natural peanut butter 
• 1 large organic egg
• 1 cup sugar (1/2 coconut sugar, 1/2 maple flakes)
  

 

Directions 

1. Mix all ingredients together. Keep stirring if the mixture seems too wet. It will get stiffer.
2. Line your baking trays with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls onto the tray.  Don’t worry about pressing them down with a fork – there’s no need. Bake for 12-14 minutes on 350F, until golden around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
