Ingredients for Bailey S Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

  • Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar + ½ cup granulated sugar for rolling
  • 1 large egg

How to Make Bailey S Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup creamy peanut butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon baking powder. Add 1 large egg and mix until thoroughly combined. The dough will be sticky.
  4. Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Smaller cookies bake better.
  5. Roll each ball in ½ cup granulated sugar until evenly coated.
  6. Place the sugar-coated balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies feel slightly soft to the touch.
  8. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will firm up as they cool.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
