Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Do you like peanut butter cookies? Here's a recipe that, surprisingly, does not contain any flour. The original recipe calls for creamy peanut butter, but I prefer a little more crunch. So, I substituted crunchy peanut butter with same tasty results. You can choose which you prefer...

1 cup peanut butter, all-natural variety with no-added sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, loosely packed
1 egg

Substitute two egg whites for a whole egg for a more heart-healthy version...if cholesterol level is a concern to you.

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine all ingredients together.
Shape dough into 1" diameter balls.
Place balls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Gently "smash" down with a fork.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Remove cookies onto cooling surface.
