    Donā€™t think it works well. My son was allergic to egg, milk and has celiac. We did not have luck with substituting in this recipe since it is already so basic

    I used the flax seed egg replacer with these cookies last week. My recipe was like this one, but had vanilla extract and baking soda in it.

      I recommend letting the flax seed egg substitute sit for about 10 min before using so it gets kinda gummy like an egg texture. Good luck!

    I think Iā€™m the worst baker cooker ever because no matter how simple a recipe is I still manage to mess it up. I did everything the way it says but how come my fork doesnā€™t make great imprints and now my cookies look scary! Itā€™s soo gooey and sticky! But they taste good

      Sometimes i roll them into balls and roll them in sugar. That helps them not be so sticky.

      Glad they still tasted good! I agree that dipping your fork in flour before pressing will help it not stick, but that could defeat the GF aspect. I would suggest you chill them (in ball form) for a little bit before pressing and baking, but I am going to make a guess that it has the most to do with the type/quality of peanut butter you used (oil content for example).

        Ohh yay thanks for your tips . It was fun making these with my three kids and we loved eating them but will definitely freeze them a bit before forking because the peanut butter I used was Reeseā€™s which was pretty oily. Ty for taking time to respond

          Dip your fork in the sugar before pressing. I have made these with my boys for a few years now, and thatā€™s the way we always do it it. They donā€™t stick to the fork and it gives it some extra sweetness on the top! Could also just roll them in a ball and press a Hershey kiss into it if the chocolate isnā€™t a problemā€¦

    I love these cookies. These are so easy and my sister is gluten free. I use three kinds of sugar, to help lessen the gridiness. I use 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1/3 cup regular sugar. Sometimes I add mini chocolate chips.

    Made these low carb by using one cup Splenda instead of sugar along with the natural peanut butter and egg. Itā€™s hard to find low carb cookies and this tasted great!

    I have made these for my memory care residents. I call them Cuppa-Cuppa-Eggā€¦.cuz that is all you need to make them! šŸ˜‰ I also found out that using chunky peanut butter makes them better! I bake @ 350 for 8 minutes and let cool on pan for a minute or two, then transfer to a rack. You can add some cinnamon and vanilla to make them even better!!!

    I make these all the time but I roll them into balls and roll them in sugar. Then when they are about 1 minute from being ready, I pop a Hersheyā€™s kiss in the middle. That way it doesnā€™t melt but it sets. Yummy!

      Someone mentioned in the comments they used Splenda and it turned out great. So you could prob use any sugar substitute you have on hand.

      My daughter is a type 1 diabetic also. I have made these with Splenda and she enjoyed them. Just make them smaller and let them cool on the pan, or they will not hold together well. Normally I do half sugar/half Splenda and press three chocolate chips into each one, so while they are not necessarily ā€œlow-carbā€, they are acceptable for a treat.

      Hi- I try to have a low glycemic index diet for my thyroid and I substitute granulated Xylitol (which is an all natural sweetner usually found in gum and candy) for all sugar in my recipes. I buy mine off of amazon for approx 4 dollars a lb. I prefer health garden as this brand makes it from birch whereas some other brands use corn. One word of caution I have heard that if you eat a bunch it will give you the runs! I have not experienced that nor my kids and I use it in all my baking and oatmeal etc. The back states 1 tsp is 9.6 calories and has 4 total carbs. Hope that helps!!

    I just made these and man, were they easy and DELICIOUS!!! I think I may have plopped too much dough on the cookie sheet, so they made bigger cookies (I got 11 or 12), but I just let them bake an additional 2 and a half minutes and they came out perfect! THANK YOU!!!

    I just made 6 dozen of these for a benefit. A little experimentation taught me that itā€™s better to slightly underbake them, and let them set up as they cool. Overbaking them even slightly can lead them to be crumbly. They taste fantastic! I canā€™t wait to share them tomorrow. Thanks for a great recipe =D

    I have made these cookies for the past 30 years I have never had them to fail me yet. After mixing I let them set while I get the cookie sheet readyā€¦.I use special baking mat on my cookie sheets and the cookies will never stick and the cookie sheet stays clean. I pinch off a small amount of dough and roll into a ball I leave them in a ball and bake for 8 minutes immediately after removing from the oven I push a chocolate kiss in the middle of the cookie and push down gently to make like a blossom. I use either milk chocolate or dark chocolate all depending on who I am making the cookies for. I have a brother who is a diabetic and this past Christmas I made them using splenda instead of sugarā€¦ā€¦I used dark chocolate for him but only a couple of cookiesā€¦ā€¦I took a fork dipped in splenda to make crisscross marks on the cookies before baking I let them set for about 5 minutes after removing from oven as they will crumble if you try to remove them to soonā€¦they turned out very tasty. Last year I used sweet n low and I would not recommend using this sweetener as the cookies were very dry. I usually only made these for Christmas but my granddaughter would rather have these instead of a cake for her birthday.

    I just made these last night and they taste great! at 10 minutes they still looked a little undercooked so I let them sit in for a bit longer which was a mistake, they turned out crumbly so next time I will just take them out at 10 and lol. but the kids loved them and the didnā€™t mind the crumble.
