Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, syrup, egg, baking powder, jam and cacao if using. Mix until no clumps remain.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Portion the cookies into seven using an ice cream scoop then lightly press down with a fork (they do not expand too much).
  • Use your thumb or a ½ teaspoon to press a small dent into the center of the cookie.
  • Bake for 3 minutes, rotate the pan and bake for another six.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet.
  • When cooled, divide out the peanut butter topping into the cookies. Then divide the jam and lightly swirl.

Notes

  • The cookies won’t seem done when they come out of the oven, this is normal! Let them sit to finish cooking on the baking pan and then transfer them to a cooling rack. Be gentle.
  • Store the flourless peanut butter cookies in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Know that they will firm up a bit on storing.
  • Any jam or jelly will work for the gluten-free cookies.
