    Flourless Double Peanut Butter Cup Blossom Cookies {Guest Post}

    Published: Jan 29, 2021 by Heidi. This post may contain affiliate links 18 Comments

    Hi, I am Brianne, former-Chemical-Engineer-turned-Stay-at-Home-Mama-and-Recipe-Developer over at Cupcakes & Kale Chips. I am so excited to be guest posting here at One Creative Mommy. I have a wonderful husband and two amazing little boys, and my recipes reflect the way I cook for them and the rest of my family - a balance of healthy meals and snacks, with some over the top treats mixed in. Since I have a wheat allergy, many of my recipes are gluten-free, but I hare dealing with all of the crazy flours and ingredients, so I tend to lean towards things that are naturally gluten-free.

    With the holidays coming up faster than we all care to admit, I thought I would bring you an easy and super-yummy cookie recipe for your upcoming cookie exchanges and parties, or even just as an after-school treat. And the best past is, whether you are gluten-free or not, there are perfect because they are completely flourless Double PB Peanut Butter Cup Blossom Cookies.

    In my family, we all have our staple cookies we make every year. I make Snowballs, Snickerdoodles, and Almond Crescents, my aunt makes "Brianne's Cookies" (I swear I have no idea what they are called), and my mom makes Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Blossoms. I love those peanut buttery cookies with the little chocolate Kiss on top. But since I do try to be "gluten aware" and limit how much I have, I thought a gluten-free version was in order. And a double peanut buttery one at that! I am a total peanut butter fanatic, so rather than using gluten-free flours, I just amped up the PB factor by making flourless peanut butter cookies, then, to put the over the top - a peanut butter cup instead of a Kiss.

    Flourless Double Peanut Butter Cup Blossom Cookies {You won't believe these cookies are gluten free! So yummy!}

    {flourless} Double PB Peanut Butter Cup Blossom Cookies

    Makes about 2 ½ dozen cookies (can easily be doubled)

    Ingredients:

    • ½ c sugar
    • ½ c dark brown sugar
    • 1 t baking soda
    • 1 c natural peanut butter (I used creamy)
    • 1 egg
    • 1 t vanilla
    • About 30 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped

    Directions:

    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
    2. Using a fork, mix together the sugar, brown sugar, and baking soda in a bowl.
    3. With a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat in the peanut butter until cream.
    4. Add the egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
    5. Form balls using about 1 tablespoon of dough, place on the cookie sheet and flatten to about ½ inch thick with your palm.
    6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly golden and set.
    7. Let cool on the sheet for about a minute, then place a peanut butter cup on top of each cookie, tapping slightly so that the chocolate "glues" it to the cookie.
    8. Cool for another five minutes or so on the cookie sheet before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.

      My mom also says she used to always make gluten-free pb cookies-I remember her making them, but it's been so long I don't remember what they tasted like! What is the texture of your cookie like? Thanks!

      Was looking for a gluten free pb cookie and this looks uncomplicated and yummy! My question is, the ingredients state 1 t baking soda but in the directions you mentioned baking powder. Could you please clarify as I am dying to make these! Thanks!

        Thanks for noticing the mistake, Michele. I checked with Brianne, and the correct ingredient is Baking Soda. I corrected the instructions in the post.

        Thanks, Jo-Lynne. You can never have too much candy in a cookie, right?
