Leave out the vanilla, it's good that way! And yes - NO flour!

mcgee64,

there are several peanut butter cookie recipes on TOH that are flourless. It isn't any mistake

This is a great recipe. I made the cookies using a 1 1/4 in scoop to make the balls and didn't flatten them. They came out fine.

I made a recipe similar to this. It called for baking soda,not vanilla and chopped peanuts. Cool the cookies, then add melted choc. chips and chopped nuts. GLUTEN FREE

I would like to try this recipe. However, I see there is no mention of flour. Is this correct?
