These Egg-less Peanut Butter Cookies are thin, crispy, from scratch, and super fast and easy to make! 
Soo… I almost killed my best friend’s husband. I know. I am the worst person in the world. In the whole world. Ok, so despite the fact that Mona is now convinced I hate the amazingly sweet and adorable love of her life… I really do love her hubby. Like really. Like my hubby misses her hubby since they moved to AZ so much that any time I mention his name, I get an “Aw, I miss that guy,” Ya, we love them. Really. For reals. Even though I tried to kill him.
So remember these adorable little Meringue Kisses I made? Well, I sent a bunch of them to Mona and her hubby because I made a few batches and I wanted to share the love (slash not eat 4 dozen meringues…). Totally innocent, right? Only if I had remembered that her hubby was allergic to EGGS. Oh yeah, the 75% egg cookie, yup I sent them to a man with a serious sweet tooth and a recently discovered allergy to eggs. Worst person in the world.
Even worse… I didn’t even realize the potential chaos I caused until I got this text after posting the Meringue Kisses:
And then I had a mini-heart attack. Luckily, it appears his allergy may be just to the yolks, and in my defense, the egg allergy is pretty new and we haven’t seen him since it was discovered. I’m still the worst person in the world and totally never living this accidental murder attempt down, which she shouldn’t. It’s totally deserved.
Which brings us to these little babies. I call them my “I’m-so-sorry-that-I-almost-killed-your-husband-Cookies” Also known as Egg-less Peanut Butter Cookies; completely egg-free, guilt free, and murderous intentions free!
Even better, super easy! All basic ingredients (plus flour that I totally forgot when I took this photo) and peanut butter which we didn’t have so it gave me an excuse to make more. What’s better than homemade peanut butter cookies? Homemade peanut butter cookies with homemade peanut butter, that’s what!
So, I whipped up some peanut butter. Really, it’s sooo easy to make! Don’t believe me? Watch Alton Brown’s video on it and take it from him.
Even easier than making peanut butter: these cookies. Seriously super fast.
Creamed sugars and butter mixed with a cup of the homemade PB and then the flour and baking soda mixed in…
…and we have a delicious EGG FREE peanut butter cookie dough.
Baked at 350 degrees for 15 minutes and we had these beauties. They’re flat without the structure of the egg, but that just meant we had Peanut Butter Cookie Crisps!
These little babies were sent Priority Mail to Arizona titled:

Such a funny written post, you had me giggling 🙂 Lovely cookies too!
This reminds me of the time I almost killed my own husband, and there was a knife involved! Hahah….things happen, you know. But I think almost killing a friend’s husband is slightly worse than almost killing your own, so yah, Tracy, you’re like the worst person! Just kidding!! You know I love you and the fact that you always make me laugh with your posts.
Hahaha, thank you, Angie!! Oooh I’ve had a few of those with my husband too… I am a lefty with a knife! You’re so sweet- even though you’re right, I am the worst! 😉
We got them today!! And they’re delicious! Although hubby did make me eat a few first and waited to see if I was still alive 10 minutes later, just to be on safe side…
Ahhh ahahaha. Great, now I have to worry about killing you too as the taste tester! 😉
I WANT THESE! I have to make them– YUP. I love that picture of her text, SO funnyyy– thank GOD they were only egg yolks… (actually what are the odds of that, you sending them cookies that DIDN’T have egg yolks…? Since most do? Except for these? And that’s awesome?)
Hahaha… this is insanely funny. I loved the name you gave these apology cookies 🙂
The was such a fun, funny and somewhat suspenseful read. And I’m loving the sound of these cookies – they look so perfectly crispy, and know they’re super delicious.
Ha- thanks Valentina!
‘I’m sorry I almost killed your hubby” sounds like a perfect reason to bake some more cookies haha!
Ha – right? Not like I need all that much of an excuse to start with 😉
Love the eggless recipe I would probably eat most of the batter raw, love peanut butter cookies !!!
Haha! Yes – made batter snacking much harder not to do!
Amazing recipe! Thank you so much. They were a bit crumbly but we love them that way!
Thank Neli – we do too!
Looks good! Never thought it is possible without an egg, haha.
These cookies sound fantastic and thanks for sharing the funny stories 🙂
Thank you, Jacque!
I made these cookies and used half Stevia and half granulated sugar. This recipe was quick to whip up and had excellent flavor! I will make often!
That’s a GREAT idea, Karen! So glad you enjoyed them!
Awesome recipe! Made me look like I knew what I was doing!
Haha! Great to hear, Bruce!!
These are soooo good!!! Thank you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed them!!
I have not tried a peanut butter cookie I did not like. These look cripsy and delicious. Perfect for dunking. I know for a fact I would not be able to eat just one!!
That’s the hardest part of this recipe, for sure! 😉
These are the perfect texture to enjoy with a cup of warm tea! My girlfriends and I are hosting a party for our moms and these eggless peanut butter cookies are a great addition to our menu. We aren’t trying to kill off anyone, so we’re safe! haha
I prefer thin crispy cookies so these are perfect!! So delicious!
I’m very glad you didn’t kill your friend’s husband. Always good to… not do that. I’m also very glad that you came up with this recipe! I personally can eat eggs all day long, but I’ve had to do plenty of work without them too (for allergy and dietary restriction reasons), so it’s always nice to have a good recipe like this to turn to. I also happen to LOVE peanut butter cookies, and I’m especially thrilled that you used homemade peanut butter here. Maximum peanutty-ness. Cheers!
You had me convinced the minute I saw crispy and fast. Crispy cookies are my favorite and I can’t believe they’re eggless. This will be a handy recipe to have when I’m out of eggs and I want to make some treats. I’m sorry to hear about your friend’s Hubby. I bet he asks for the recipe before he ties in to your gifts. 🤣
I’ve made so many nut butters but never peanut butter, which is crazy! I can’t wait to make cookies using my own peanut butter next time as you use in this recipe. The cookies look like the perfect bake and I’m glad that I can make them even when I don’t have eggs on hand (that always ruins my cookie making plans!)
Oh…give yourself a break. It wasn’t intentional that you sent cookies that he was allergic to….but it does bring up a good point about being aware of allergies. We have several friends with kids who are allergic to eggs…so this recipe is definitely going to come in handy. Thank you!!
I love that you whip up your own peanut butter for these cookies! If you’re gonna bake, why not take that extra step to make them that much better. Hope your friend’s hubby is ok, LOL!
