Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Our annual apple picking trip is coming up soon and I'm already thinking about what I'll plan for our picnic lunch. Regardless of the menu, the one thing I have to bring along is a batch of peanut butter cookies. It's tradition.

I stumbled upon this recipe and wanted to share. It's so easy.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
 
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.
In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and egg until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.

Bake until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the sheets halfway through baking. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.
