Flourless Peanut Butter Cookes

Our gluten-free alternative to the classic actually gives the cookies a boost: subtracting flour highlights their pure peanut butter flavor and adds a wonderfully chewy texture.

I REALLY don't like it when you make me click through 10-20 screens of individual suggestions for sandwiches or drinks or cookies. Just because you CAN manipulate me doesn't mean I have to put up with it.

To RDMIKEL: Have you got a better solution?

In this one instance I didn't mind clicking through. I think I'll be trying every single one of these cookie recipes.

Otherwise I would suggest a checkerboard thumbnail layout of all the recipes. Then we would be able to just click the ones that peak our interest.

I strongly agree with ckfoster!!!! I like the idea of a checkerboard or even a straight line of thumbnails. I am very interested in these cookie recipes but I don't want to click through all thirteen of them to find one that looks good. Thumbnail or stamp sized pictures would save a LOT of time

Just made my first batch, they are fantastic! These are the actually the best PB cookies I have tasted. I am not sure what demuria sugar is, so I rolled them in turbinado sugar instead and am so very happy I did. I recommend cooking 12 minutes if on the west coast.
