I am SURE that these have been posted before, but I made them tonight and they are delicious!

Ingrediants:

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup white sugar

1 large egg

Blend until sugar and egg are mixed in. Dough will look slightly "Dry". Form into 1 inch balls, mash flat with a fork and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Makes 24 cookies.

Warning: These are not low calorie in ANY sense of the word.

I have made these with honey in place of the sugar and they come out bready, sort of like muffin tops. Yum!

Ooooo!

A whole cup of honey?

I use 1/2 cup white & 1/2 brown sugar and a little vanillas & the choco chips.

I use about 3/4 of a cup instead. I have also used part honey and part sugar and played with using brown sugar as well. I don't like the graininess they get when I use all sugar. I bet they would be good with a touch of molasses as well. So many possiblities for stir in options too--almonds, walnuts, cashews, raisins, craisins, etc. :)

I made these recently as well and they are wonderful!

The only difference is that I also added a tsp of vanilla to the mix.

And if you can't have egg...I made them with egg replacer this past weekend. It was a 15 oz jar of natural pb, 1 c white sugar, 1/2 c brown sugar and the egg replacer for 2 eggs. Let's just say between 8 people they were gone overnight :)

My wife can't have chicken eggs, so we've used duck eggs, honey, and a touch of vanilla. I never thought of trying molasses. I love molasses! I'll have to try a mix of honey, brown sugar, and molasses! Maybe 1/2 br. sugar, 1/4 molasses, and two tbsp honey....*drool*

Never heard of Elvis cookies, but that sounds good!

I bet the basic cookie recipe would work with sunflower butter too for people allergic to peanuts.

Could the egg be replaced with applesauce? I'm afraid I may have issues with eggs.

Note to self: I must stay away from cookie discussions.

I couldn't sleep last night and saw this evil cookie talk... So I made my version of the peanut butter cookie and modified the first posts recipe and used what I had. I cut the sugar in half (using a mix of 1/2 regular sugar and 1/2 brown sugar) plus I added vanilla plus Pamela's Ultimate Baking & Pancake Mix plus Nestles Chocolate Chips plus gluten-free oatmeal.

I didn't adhere to exact measurements of anything and just mixed things until I had a good cookie dough. I cooked them and that's when they turned evil. The possessed evil cookie came out tasting very good and I ate about 20 of them and that made it even harder to get back to sleep.

Today I am tired and have to make this affirmation to myself to stay away from cookie discussions and to state that I am a Cookie Addict!

:lol: First step is admiting your problem! Better a oookie addict than a gluten addict! And most people seem to think everything gluten-free is healthy. :lol:

The egg replacer I used was the powdered one by Ener-G and has no eggs or dairy in it.

Well at least you had good cookies! You probably aren't reading this since you've sworn off cookie discussions. B)

I did have good cookies. Just ate too many. I would have shared but no one to share with. Bad cookies!

I'm sure you'll meet somebody nice who wants to share your cookies!

Until then, it works to freeze the extras (out of sight, out of mind, and good feelings about preserving food for the future). After they've cooled completely, I stick two in a zip sandwich bag. Once they're all packaged, I stick the whole lot in a freezer bag (would label them dog food or something if I lived with inconsiderate peeps) and tuck them in the freezer.

They count as breakfast sometimes, straight out of the freezer. (Surprisingly, they're really good frozen!) I made mine with the mashed banana, but they had to be cooked on parchment paper (the batter was very thin and sticky).

If I have a frozen cheap source of protein and fruit that is gluten-free and ready to go in an instant, you can count me happy. :D

How much mashed banana do you add to recipe? I'd like to try it but want to make sure I have the right amount of all the ingredients. Do you change the amount of any of the other ingredients?

I tried it with the applesauce and read that you use 3 tbs of applesauce for 1 egg. I had made a double batch and while they tasted really good they ended up very runny and more like eating globs off plain peanut butter.

I added 1/2 mashed over-ripe banana to 1/2 of the OP's recipe. And added about 1/2 tsp. baking soda and 1/2 tsp. vanilla (not imitation). I had to cook them just a bit longer than 10 minutes, and I really thought they were failures. The trick is to let them cool on a wire rack (if you have one, if not let them cool on top of something that will hold the cookie sheet up of the surface for awhile, and peel them off the parchment paper with a non-stick spatula about 5-10 minutes after cooking. (That's about the amount of time I spent sulking that I screwed up my cookies!)

I used chunky peanut butter and they were the bomb.

So I'd use a whole mashed banana for the original recipe. I don't think the vanilla added much, because the banana flavor really takes over.

Since banana sizes vary, I'd guess my outcome was about 1/3 cup. And it was really over-ripe, skin was black, but again, that was for half a recipe.

I thought it was worth trying for half a recipe. I might try carrots and raisins next time. :D

And the best lesson I learned is that just because it doesn't look good now, look at it later. Those frozen Elvis cookies are great! I'll make them regularly.

Lara Bars were $1.59 each at my local grocery store today. And they lookied smaller than usual! :lol:

I decided to make the cookies again instead.

I added minced dried apricots (didn't have dates) along with mashed banana, a couple of chopped Hershey's Dark Chocolate Nuggets and a handful of raisins. And I used 1/2 cup each brown and white sugar along with 1/2 tsp baking soda vs the OP recipe of 1 cup of white sugar.

They are scrumptious. I'm starting to think you can't ruin this recipe. (Unless you forget the egg...and I did that once. Even the dog wouldn't eat the batter or what I baked, and she loves peanut butter.)

I like Lara Bars, but $1.59 each is out of my budget. That makes Lara Bars more expensive per pound than lobster or filet mignon! (Neither of which I can afford, but would definitely prefer over a Lara Bar.)

Lara bars are $1.99 - $2.19 each regualr price in my area. They do sometimes go on sale for 10 for $10 and that's when I buy them. I usually get 20 at one time when they are a dollar each and I only eat maybe one a week at most so they last me for a while. I agree about them being too expensive though. I don't have any right now. I found Enjoy Life bars on sale for $3 per box of 5 and bought a bunch of those. My main use for these bars are for shelf stable emergency food when I'm on the go or traveling and can't find anything else safe.

Cookies certainly are preferable to Lara Bars or Enjoy life bars if I'm at home or have access to a clean kitchen. :D

I used half sunflower butter and half almond butter, 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp. vanilla and chopped pecans - maybe there were 9 or 10 that I chopped pretty good.

They came out a little sweet but soft. I got 2 trays full. I used a tsp. to measure out the batter and cooked for 9 and 1/2 min. I let them sit for a couple of minutes on the cooking tray to firm up and transfered to a cooling rack. I've noticed my DH has been munching on them... so they must be good.

Next time I will reduce the sugar.

That's a really good idea. Will you cut it down by 1/4 cup? I guess if you add dates or raisins, you could cut the sugar down by 1/3? (Thinking outloud, so to speak, and looking for input.)

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By cookiesyum · Posted

      The easiest way to remember the difference between the cholesterol types is HDL;   H=healthy equals healthy (omega 3, 7, limit 6 & 9 MCFA'S =Medium Chain Fatty Acids. 3= coconut oil, 7= sunflower oil, avocado. The higher your HDL the healthier you are & less likely to experience strokes, clogged arteries Etc. You can even use cold expeller pressed coconut oil on your skin and that is the best kind of coconut oil to eat as well. You want your HDL much higher than your LDL, it will help you stay healthy.   LDL;    L=Lousy. Meat fats, processed fats.  The higher your LDL is the more likely you will have strokes, clogged artery is, heart disease, fatty liver.   Then there's lipids... they are the culprit to be blamed for many heart attacks and things like that they are very small round particles that transport fats. You can have a low overall cholesterol reading and most of it be healthy cholesterol and have a ton of lipids and there's nothing you can do to change the lipid count. High number of lipids is very dangerous.   I'm going on statins is extremely dangerous if you ask me it's just completely my opinion, because I have seen so many of my elderly friends bleed to death internally because of the statins. I mean you wouldn't take all the oil and grease out of your car or a motorcycle and then try to drive it that way would you? You see that's what statins do they remove all of your bodies fats and it doesn't matter whether it's healthy fats or a lousy fats. It removes all of them and then your body can't function properly. You have to have fats to keep your skin supple and to stay warm. Your body also needs fats to digest & process certain nutrients, amino acids & vitamins.   Your brain is composed of fat so is that something you really want to remove with a pill every morning and night?   The thing about statins is that they also make the blood vessels and capillaries permeable. So this is how my friends who were on cardiac medication for a long time and statins ended up bleeding internally to death.   If you want to make sure that your heart is healthy, take odorless garlic at night and magnesium, vitamin K & calcium.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info
