Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter cookies have always been one of my favorites since I was little. They are so simple but perfectly sweet and nutty; You really can't go wrong. I've made this recipe more times than I can count because it's so easy and I always have all of the necessary ingredients on hand.

You can have them completely done in 15 minutes flat to curb that craving asap!

They're the perfect consistency - a kind of dense, chewy peanut buttery cookie but tender at the same time. I highly recommend the sprinkle of coarse sea salt on the top before baking to make them extra tasty. You could get more creative as well and consider making PB&J thumbprint cookies with a scoop of jam in the middle, or dipping the cookies in a melted chocolate after they're cool.

I have nothing else to say besides these are equally as easy as a Betty Crocker mix but less processed and more delicious! It's great to throw together for a last minute dessert for company.

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350
