Mackenzie says
Would this recipe work using brown sugar ? We don’t have granulated at the moment but we do have brown sugar ?
Anna says
Hi Mackenzie! Yep, you can use brown sugar. Check out this recipe: https://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/chocolate-dipped-peanut-butter-cookies-recipe/
Brea says
I made these cookies many of times, I really like the taste. It is hard to find a good gluten free recipe. One thing I ran into was every time I made these the cookies would fall apart after I cooked them. Any ideas to fix this?
Susanna says
Yum! So quick and easy that my five year old made it with limited supervision. And had everything I needed in the house. Thanks !!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Susanna! Yay! I am so happy to know your little one made the cookies! Thank you so much!!
Liliana says
It’s the best I’ve ever had! I made mine with organic crunchy peanut butter and it was chewy and soft inside, with bits of peanuts for crunch. Loved them!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Yay! That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Liliana!
Pamela says
Totally going to make these with the kiddos this weekend!
caitlin Bird says
couldn't be any easier to make!
Kaylynn says
Thank you for your video, but I was wondering what the measurements are because I couldn’t seem to find them listed anywhere.
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Kaylynn! The whole recipe is in the recipe box, right after the photo collage.
Kathy says
Hi! I am gluten and dairy allergic. I have been making these wirh crunchy PB for years! I use half the sugar & use them for my breakfast protein. 😊 Oh, I also roll them in sugar & put the fork marks on them.
My question is: my friend has a granddaughter that is allergic to peanuts. There is something called 'Wowbutter'. Could she use that?

Fran says
In Canada we have a Bulk Food store that carries Sunbutter. It’s made from sunflower seeds. Tastes great and has a good texture. We cook with it as a substitute all the time.
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Thank you so much for sharing, Fran!
Bethany says
Hello, what could I substitute the egg for as I’m vegan? I would normally use banana but would it work for these?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Bethany! I have not tested this recipe with bananas but I would love to try that. Sorry I am no help. Let me know if you try it!
Donna says
I made mine with 1/2 the sugar and a flax egg- yummy!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Thank you for sharing, Donna! That is very helpful!
Jennifer Cid says
These look so delicious and I'm definitely gonna try them out!! But I was wondering At what temperature should I bake them at.
Sarah says
Has anyone tried using all natural peanut butter?
Kelly says
Can Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetner be used in place of the sugar?
Thank you
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Kelly! I do not have any experience baking with Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener so I can't say how it will affect the cookies. So sorry!
Lisa Gibson says
I just made them with monk fruit sweetener. It worked. The texture is just a little fluffier.
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Thank you so much for letting me know, Lisa! That's wonderful!
Celia says
Hi, can i use the vanilla extract instead of the sugar? Just make them healthier? Idk if its too necesary?
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Celia! I do not recommend using vanilla in place of the sugar. Since these cookies are practically half sugar, it will be hard to make them healthier. You can try my recipe using Stevia In The Raw Bakers Bag. Here is the link: https://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/flourless-peanut-butter-oatmeal-cookies-recipe/
Tanja Merkle says
I'm going to have to try this and give them as a welcome to the community gift at my apartment building,
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
I absolutely love this idea, Tanja! That is so sweet of you!
Brandy says
We make these often as they are a family favorite as well! We like to sprinkle just a bit of sugar on the fork marks for a fancier look. The kids would be in heaven with dipping them in chocolate and adding sprinkles!
Anna@CrunchyCreamySweet says
Hi Brandy! That sounds great! Love the sugar tip!
Britt says
These cookies look SO delicious! I'm not even sure if I would be able to share them with anyone after I finished baking them. LOL Your recipe can have me in and out of the kitchen so quickly. Love it!
