Recipe: Peabutter Cookies

Warning: these are NOT the most nutritious cookies! I debated whether or not to post this recipe just yet, as I plan to experiment with sugar alternatives because I hate the amount of refined sugar that are in these cookies. So I will keep you updated and hopefully post a healthier alternative in the future! Otherwise, these will just be an occasional treat for our girls.

I found a recipe for "Flourless cookies" from "The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Comfort Foods" by Bette Hagman. This is a great book, as she also tries to eliminate dairy from her recipes ...so less modifying for me! The original recipe uses peanut butter, and I made it without modifications first, adding the Enjoy Life chocolate chips with it. They were delicious, and if you can have peanut butter, I highly recommend them! The author recommends using a processed peanut butter, but we found one that was still natural but had the added salt.

So after I was able to eat more then my share of these cookies, I also wanted to try and make some for Mara. It wasn't fair for her to see her mother stuffing her face, now is it? I immediately wanted to try her peabutter and see how it worked. I also added some raisins as well. These cookies only take a few minutes to make, another plus for me , as I am not the best at planning!
Both girls LOVE these cookies! The biggest difference I found between the two batches (besides the taste) was that the peabutter cookies did not spread out like the peanut butter ones did. Which actually worked out well, as I made small mini-cookies to keep the total sugar intake low for one sitting! Plus, these cookies are pretty filling, so I think a smaller cookie is ideal. Both girls prefer these cookies over anything else I have made, so I am even more determined to try to reduce the amount of refined sugar!

Here's the recipe, enjoy!

Peabutter Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup peabutter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp gluten-free vanilla
  • 3/4 cups raisins (optional)
Using your mixer, blend the peabutter and brown sugar together. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the baking soda and vanilla and blend until completely mixed. Add the raisins and blend by hand.
Drop cookies onto greased cookie sheets or parchment paper (we used parchment paper).

Bake 8-11 minutes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees.

I LOVE the peanut butter cookie recipe you're talking about. But I found out a few months ago that I'm allergic to peanut butter, and I miss it terribly. Can't wait to try your peabutter cookie recipe...I just gotta find some peabutter.

Andrea said...

DD is allergic to peas, peanut butter and eggs. But I think I'll try this with Sunny butter (sunflower seeds) and egg replacer. It'll be the first sweet treat we've had in a while! Thanks!

if either of you can have soy, then soy butter would work nicely too!

I hope they turn out-let me know how the no eggs works!

Tamara said...

This looks neat. I still haven't found peabutter in any local stores so I think I am going to break down and buy it online. If I do, I want to give this a try.

Also, thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm going to look for that mayo.

If you refrigerate the dough for about 15 minutes, then scoop, the cookies might not spread as much during baking...

I've ever liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of just dish out time staring at it as a configuration of catharsis. In a course, it helps me with meditation, to reduce stress and strain and just fantasize just about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, a substitute alternatively of dolls and cars I've perpetually collected more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most pleased when I start the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Presentation Laser Ace Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com protection the Toys section. It's like a musical belt, a spinning top, and a berate divulge all rolled into one. Which is great amusement! The gyroscope will outing for about a minute. The laser explanation show with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a measure corresponding exactly toy that my friends be suffering with also been most amused with.

My dogs are also pretty curious about the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They each follow the gyroscope as it spins, although at earliest they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss boast, and also because it produces music. But after they got employed it, they've stopped barking but simply save up following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also attractive amused next to it. Occasionally it's proper to possess pleasing toys on all sides the lineage so that you can desert the toy on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you go get up foodstuffs or receive changed. The gyroscope is inseparable such toy with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a light indicate with red, obscene, and unskilled colours. Pit oneself against a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser light show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that enormous but allowable enough to entertain any chic customer to the house. The gyroscope is red and raven, making it look exceedingly coolth, and slightly masculine with that dragon imprint.

The music dismount attack make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also used this gyroscope to stagger my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy thing of decorating the pension latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser insight expose produces a ideal effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the light effects created a rather romantic atmosphere. She loved it, by the custom, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my oversight shopping site suitable all gifts and ideas in behalf of emotional occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser radiance playing gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a great Christmas favour for the toddler or methodical the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can simply be a polite addition to the established Christmas decorations. I can take it as given placing it near the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests succeed in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my business yet again!
