RECIPE NOTES FOR MAKING THE BEST FLOURLESS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES:
- The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For best results, use a smooth and creamy commercial peanut butter, like Skippy. (I do not recommend all-natural or chunky peanut butter.)
- The cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months but make sure the cookies are completely cooled, and then transfer them to an airtight container lined with parchment paper or freezer-safe bag before storing them in the freezer.
- The cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Scoop the dough into balls, let set on a baking sheet in the freezer, then place in a sealable bag. Bake as needed directly from the freezer.
- The margarine can be left out if this recipe if preferred.
- This recipe uses chocolate chips with usually contain dairy. That being said, you can find dairy free chocolate chips or you could skip the chocolate chips making the recipe dairy free.
- To make the cookies vegan, substitute the egg for a flax egg, which is made by mixing together 1 tablespoon flaxseed with 2 tablespoons water and letting it rest for 5 minutes. Also use vegan chocolate chips.
- You can bake these cookies without using parchment paper. I definitely recommend using parchment paper if possible but if you don’t have any, you can just lightly grease the pan instead.
