Eating for Two: Peanut Butter Cookies

I'm in the same boat. Pregnant with my first, and husband has both serious allergies and a history of asthma. (no nut allergies though.) i'm erring on the side of caution: one or two servings of nuts, no more than once a week or so.

i would definitely be uncomfortable with daily consumption. though it's not crystal clear, there's enough of a concern that i was willing to cut back.

you're killing me with these cookies though. i'm drowning my sorrows in a big glass of molasses lemonade.

Eating for Two: Peanut Butter Cookies

Being a peanut butter fanatic and a huge peanut butter cookie fan, I grabbed this recipe and went to work. My judging audience are the members of my Wednesday night "Pastry Meeting", and their reviews were mixed and surprising. Some that DON"T like peanut butter cookies LIKED these a lot, and others who preferred my version "without" the chewy aspect gave these a thumbs down. I myself had mixed emotions, but did enjoy the cookies. Thanks for a different take on a great classic.

Speak of the devil, I JUST made these cookies for a friend's birthday (and I made them *before* looking at this post). They were a big hit! My only complaint is that I wish the recipe didn't call for non-natural peanut butter.

The first time by accident, and since then on purpose, I've been leaving the vanilla out of peanut butter cookies. I feel a subtle aspect of the peanut flavor comes through better.

I can answer for the previous poster and say that yes, the recipe is correct - no flour needed. I have made this recipe myself many times, and it is really the best (and easiest) PB cookie recipe ever!

Re: Easiest Bestest PB Cookies....
No flour? That would be great, but I'm just double checking to make sure it's right....if it is, thanks!

Why go to all that trouble? IMHO, the best pb cookie recipe in the universe is this one that you can stir up in about 5 seconds!
Easiest Bestest PB Cookies
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
pinch baking soda
splash vanilla
Mix well until nice and smooth. Scoop cookies with small scoop and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment or sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-10 minutes until golden brown. Cool until they don't burn your tongue and serve with a lovely glass of cold milk. Pure heaven.

What about seeds? I'm assuming for those interested in getting a vegetable source of protein that seeds, like pumpkin or sunflower, would be okay. If nothing else, it may prove a helpful substitute between peanut or tree nut binges. And since they've started selling sunflower seed butter at my local grocery store, it seems to be becoming more commonplace.

this recipe rocks, it is my go-to peanut butter cookie recipe.

if you want to make it decadent, smoosh a mini reeses peanut butter cup in the middle of each cookie before putting them in the oven. i brought some in to work recently and my coworkers went bonkers over them.

but that added peanut butter cup makes this fall even more on the vice side. heh.

I'm pregnant with our first and I eat peanut butter every day. I'm vegetarian and tell myself that I can't feel guilty about a great protein source.

I have been skeptical about this study since I first heard about it. Since when does eating nuts cause asthma? Out mothers ate nuts when they were pregnant and my generation doesn't have the rate of asthma like the generation today.

I guess it is easier and more convenient to forget other factors that are obviously linked. Never mind all of the chemicals we introduce into our homes, the artificial foods we eat, and the general lack of exercise and activity we're giving our children.

Oh no. Peanut butter is the bad guy.

Molasses lemonade?? That sounds very intriguing!! And the cookies sound great (I would cut the butter amount in half though).
