I love classic cookie recipes like this because they're simple, with fewer ingredients than more modern ones. This is one of those recipes that kids can easily help with, and because there's no flour, the mess will be minimal.
Flourless cookie ingredients
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
Chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped
You can make flourless cookies with just three ingredients, so if you're missing baking soda or vanilla, you can skip them. With that being said, the vanilla gives the cookies a nice flavor so it's worth using if you have some on hand! 🙂
If you don't have any Hershey's kisses on hand, you could use mini Reese's or even a few M&Ms. Mix it up and make them your own creation. Like crunchy peanut butter? Try it!
Dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle with sugar or coarse sea salt. Yum!
Do flourless cookies taste good?
Yes, yes, yes! This recipe is one of my favorite dessert recipes, and the fact that they're super easy to make is a bonus. If you're looking for a sweet, crumbly treat, these cookies have you covered.
No matter how you make these cookies, they are going to be SOFT!

Want chewier cookies? Take the cookies out a minute or two early, and they'll be chewier rather than crumbly.
How to make flourless cookies
