Description

Easy No-Flour Nutty Cookies are a delicious and healthy treat made with peanut butter, coconut sugar, and mixed nuts. Naturally gluten-free and optionally dairy-free, these cookies are perfect for a quick snack or dessert that requires minimal ingredients and preparation. The combination of rich nut flavors and a hint of dark chocolate makes them both satisfying and indulgent without any flour.

Ingredients

Dry and Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup chopped mixed nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, coconut sugar, egg, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Fold in Nuts and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chopped mixed nuts and optional dark chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Form Cookie Dough Balls: Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, portion out the dough and roll each portion into a ball with your hands. Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Flatten the Cookies: Using the back of a fork or your fingers, gently flatten each dough ball to form cookie shapes.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the centers are just set.
  7. Cool the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and prevents breaking.

Notes

  • These cookies are naturally gluten-free and suitable for gluten-sensitive diets.
  • Make them dairy-free by using dairy-free chocolate chips or omitting them.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and omit the mixed nuts.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
