Flourless Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprints (gluten free)

Jump to Recipe
peanut butter and jelly cookies on cookie sheet

Ah, cookies season! Kicking it off this year with these crazy good flourless peanut butter and jelly cookies. Just 5 simple ingredients.

Because really, who doesn’t love peanut butter and jelly?

I’m going to have to admit that (along with french fries) peanut butter cookies are my ultimate comfort food. And when I’m craving something a little sweet, I usually whip up a batch of my flourless peanut butter cookies.

But now that’s it’s officially holiday cookie season, I like to take my peanut butter cookies to the next level.

Isn’t that just what cookie dreams are made of? The perfect marriage of peanut butter and jelly in one fabulous cookie. Crispy on the outside.  Soft and chewy on the inside.  And a nice balance of salty and sweet.

And just 5 simple ingredients:

  • peanut butter
  • coconut sugar
  • one egg
  • baking soda
  • you favorite jam

I like to use a sugar free (fruit sweetened) jam or a homemade berry chia jam. But feel free to use whatever jam makes you happy.

These little beauties are the best of everything to me. Creamy peanut butter, sweet jam, and real food simplicity. No flour. No processed, refined sugars. Just uncomplicated PB and J goodness.

Seriously, there’s not much else to say if peanut butter is your jam. Make these. Make them often. Your people will thank you. And you will be just as obsessed as I am.

Happy Cookie Season!

xo,

Katja
