Peanuts?? butter?? Who doesn't like like those??? oh and ...peanut butter??I like it even more! Who would have thought that these cookies would be sooo simple. I was surfing the net when i came across this recipe...I thought...what the heck...3 ingredients?? Who could go wrong with just 3 ingredients? Well nothing went wrong except my calorie count....it went bonkers!!haywire!!
Ok..there are two versions to this recipe. One version is with baking soda and the other is without. I prefer it with baking soda...as i rather like crisp cookies rather than a soft centered one. For these lovelies...i rolled them into 1.5 inch balls and flattened them using a flat bottomed glass to make it thin..criss-crossed the top with a fork and baked mine at 170 C fan forced for 12 mins. Now thats what I call crispy! But make sure to check on them as not to let the cookies burn..each oven is different..play around with the heat to suit you.
Oh and by the way...these cookies are gluten free.which means.. (drum roll please) NO FLOUR! By the way I made these for my kids so that i could finish up some ingredients and I really don't want to go out to buy some cookies from the store that has a TON of unwanted ingredients and preservatives.
