When my mother (who's now a great-grandmother) gave me this recipe about 15 years ago, I was skeptical, because it calls for only three ingredients and no flour. But since then I've never had a failure, and I make them all the time!

We have used this recipe for a couple of years. Since we love peanut butter, and really like the flavor; which is very peanut buttery. I have used natural peanut butter with good results. I only bake them for 8 minutes, but bake them at 375. They are not hard. (To keep soft cookies from hardening in the container, put in 1/2 a slice of bread. Sounds weird, but works.)

Just made these for my grandkids. They are good, but I found the dough very sticky and difficult to work with. Once we got by that they baked in 10 minutes. Next time I will try adding a little flour. Good if you are short on ingrediants and time.

Very simple and quick, for something different I used 3/4 cup peanutbutter and 1/4 cup Nuttella hazelnut spread for a little chocolate flavor. Great to make with kids!!

After reading the reviews about these cookies I made them today. My oven runs hot so I set temperature at approx. 335 degrees. ALSO: Baked them for 7 minutes. They came out perfectly with these adjustments which is why I rated them excellent. After cooling they are very crispy. Honestly though I wasn't crazy about the taste but if you're gluten free they're not bad.

Great cookie!! Taste great and easy to make...only 3 ingredients. The whole family enjoyed them. I like the fact that this cookie has 6grams of protein per serving.

This recipe was good - nice, easy gluten-free recipe. I made them again and added 2 TBSP of sour cream and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and they make a very moist, chewy cookie!

This simple recipe makes about 20 yummy cookies. 18 minutes is too long to bake them, though. 12 minutes was perfect in my oven. Kids loved 'em!

I've already rated this and stated that my daughter use to make these cookies in her teens. Just a note when baking them, 10 minutes is the limit. If you go longer, they'll burn. When cooled they'll be crunchy. To soften them up place in microwave about 10 to 15 seconds per cookie.
