Calphalon Roaster Giveaway & Peanut Butter Christmas Cookie Recipe


One of our family’s favorite Christmas cookie recipes has always been the Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies. Since my Mom has gone gluten free this last year, I’m tasked with trying to find some good gluten free cookie recipes for her to enjoy. I’m sure she thinks that she’s going to have to steer clear of all cookie platters this year. Not the case… I’ll plan on creating a gluten-free cookie platter especially for Mom. Here’s one I’ll be including on that platter:   Flourless Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

It’s a simple peanut butter cookie… only 5 ingredients in the cookie dough.  They’re formed into balls, and I like to roll them in chunky, sparkling red and green sugar.  They crackle while they bake.

Although these cookies don’t contain any flour, they’re quite similar to the classic Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie recipe. The only difference is that they are perhaps a little softer and more flaky than their sturdy counterpart.

They freeze well. Just separate layers with waxed paper, and be gentle in handling them. Don’t plan to ship them anywhere- they’re not a good cookie for that.

If you don’t have to eat Gluten Free…. you’ll still like these cookies. In fact, you might be surprised how many things you’d still be able to eat and enjoy if you did have to avoid gluten. My family does not eat gluten free, but we happily gobbled these cookies. I managed to to sneak a few of them into the freezer to save for Mom’s special Christmas cookie platter.

    Bread…I don’t care what anyone else comes up with…peanut butter and bread is one of life’s pleasures…C’mon…how can beat trying to get yummy stuff off the roof of your mouth with your tongue?

    what a great idea for a gluten free twist! my easiest peanut butter recipe is a layer of cookie dough with a peanut buttter/confectioners’ sugar mixture and then more cookie dough

    Recently I made a peanut butter caramel to fill some PB brownie “cupcakes.” It was amazing!

    I love those little flourless peanut butter cookies. When I want to make a quick sweet I make those. We also eat a ton of peanut butter on those little mini bagels. Much, much better than peanut butter on bread! Something about the chewy bagel mixing in with the peanut butter, yum!

    I’ll be trying this gluten free peanut butter cookie recipe, as well as making the no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies this year.

    I don’t know that I have a special way to use peanut butter but I use it a lot – in both savory and sweet dishes (though more sweet!).

    I’ve made a couple of stews with peanut butter, and they always turn out surprisingly great.

    Every morning I add a scoop of peanut butter to my oatmeal and it makes the best taste ever!

    Marie — December 10, 2010 @ 4:57 AM

    Peanut Butter has always been a staple in my life. Taking after my dad, it is one of my favorite foods of all time; and just like my dad, I have no shame eating it straight out of the jar on a large spoon. I think one of the best things to do with peanut butter is marry it with chocolate and savor every bite! I use it whenever I can and my kitchen is never without a jumbo tub of it.

    Evan Thomas — December 10, 2010 @ 5:13 AM

    I like to use peanut butter with coconut milk in stir fry to create an asian flavor. It mixes great with red curry as well!

    Peanut butter is my weakness. I love to make those simple-but-yummy no-bake chocolate PB cookies! Coming in a close second are PB blondies… num!

  21. 21

    Nikki — December 10, 2010 @ 6:27 AM

    We have 3 kids and they all love peanut butter. We go through a lot of it! Our favorite recipes with peanut butter are cookies with a peanut butter filling and also Kibbles and Bits (chex mix, chocolate, peanut butter).

    Kimberly — December 10, 2010 @ 6:28 AM

    Peanut butter and celery as a snack…without the raisins…so yummy and so healthy.

  23. 23

    Jill S. — December 10, 2010 @ 6:29 AM

    This sounds weird, but I use less of it in peanut butter cookies, then use peanuts and Peanut Butter Crunch cereal.

    Tiffany F — December 10, 2010 @ 6:34 AM

    Oh man….I can think of nothing exciting we use peanut butter for. Really just for peanut and butter sandwiches and the occasional batch of puppy chow. I definitely need some recipes with peanut butter!

  25. 25

    Zahra Duffy — December 10, 2010 @ 6:36 AM

    I wish I had some super creative way to use peanut butter. But alas, it is spread on bread and enjoyed with some sort of jelly-substance or used as a dip for apples!

  26. 26

    maria — December 10, 2010 @ 6:37 AM

    I love peanut butter cookies! These are a classic cookie! I made Poppy Chow-puppy chow but with popcorn-so good! And addicting:)

    Nicole — December 10, 2010 @ 6:56 AM

    We warm peanut butter up in the microwave for a few seconds and serve it over vanilla ice cream with some hot fudge and whipped cream.

    And one of our favorite recipes is a no bake recipe with peanut butter. Yum!

    Val — December 10, 2010 @ 6:57 AM

    I just love a plain old peanut butter sandwich on fresh white bread!! Also wanted to mention how much I’m loving your cookie recipes. By the way I saw those candy cane kisses at Super K yesterday.

    Leann — December 10, 2010 @ 7:05 AM

    Peanut Butter is my all time favorite – because it goes so well with so many other things! I am going to try your gluten free recipe – and I am confident it will be great. A friend recently went gluten free but is having tough times finding satisfying treats so I try to pass along recipes when I can. This will go on the list. Thank you!

    Jennifer Ihde — December 10, 2010 @ 7:07 AM

    I love using peanut butter in baking and cooking! My next baking project using peanut butter will be buckeyes! Cannot wait! Peanut butter is a favorite in my family :)

  37. 37

    Sandra Griffin — December 10, 2010 @ 7:11 AM

    We use peanut butter daily for sandwiches … even the cat has his own jar of peanut butter that he begs for! (No lie … he will stand at the pantry and meow until you get the jar out and then he goes nuts until he can lick some off your finger) For baking I use JIF for making Peanut Butter Blossoms (peanut butter kiss cookies) and every Christmas we make a huge batch of Buckeye candy. One of our favorite savory dishes with peanut butter is a crock pot Indonesian chicken. Mmmmmm!!! My kids love to put the extra peanut sauce over their mashed potatoes!

    Oh! And we recently tried a baked peanut butter oatmeal recipe that was super yummy!

  38. 38

    Stacey — December 10, 2010 @ 7:11 AM

    Jif has been the only peanut butter allowed in our house since I was a child, and now in my own home, too! I love to use Jif in my peanut butter kiss cookies :)

    I like adding peanut butter to my daily granola and yogurt for a protein boost.

    I also recently blended plain yogurt and peanut butter as a Kong filling for my dog. I fill a Kong at night and freeze it for the next day while I’m at work. He loves it.

    AngelHeadedHipster — December 10, 2010 @ 7:22 AM

    PB is one of those “dangerous” things to have around the apartment for me. It never makes it into recipes because it’s always eaten straight from the jar with a spoon!

  46. 46

    katie — December 10, 2010 @ 7:25 AM

    Oh peanut butter! We do love you so! I love to use peanut butter to make dipping sauces for chicken satays. I also like to make peanut butter oatmeal no bake cookies!
    Great giveaway!

    As a college student, I’ve been known to take a knife and just eat it out of the jar.

    But I do have three jars in my apartment, ready to make peanut butter cookies!

    susitravl — December 10, 2010 @ 7:42 AM

    My 16 yr old stepson is allergic to peanut butter, but when he goes to his moms – it’s a peanut butter bonanza at our house! We make no-bake cookies, Thai Peanut Chicken, Peanut Butter noodles, PB & J sandwiches.

  52. 52

    Lorna E — December 10, 2010 @ 7:45 AM

    I almost always add some peanut butter to my chocolate chip cookies. The best of both cookies!

    Mary Everson — December 10, 2010 @ 7:50 AM

    I use peanut flour along with gluten free all purpose mix to make yummy gluten free peanut butter cookies. Can’t wait to try these!

    Marion — December 10, 2010 @ 7:55 AM

    Fantastic post! Thanks for sharing this. I will share it with my Hauser Diet fans who have gluten sensitivities. In fact, I just posted something about GF baking today – so this is perfect! Thanks.

  55. 55

    Corina Fuentes — December 10, 2010 @ 7:57 AM

    Awesome! My lil sis has Lupus so she has to follow a dairy, gluten and egg free diet, so I will just make some minor substitutions! :)

    Janine M. — December 10, 2010 @ 8:09 AM

    I add peanut butter into my baked oatmeal recipe. I also am in love with almond butter too!

  57. 57

    Jill — December 10, 2010 @ 8:10 AM

    Growing up, I ate peanut butter and Jelly EVERYDAY.. no joke. Even when there were other options. And I’m still not sick of the combo!

    Now, as I read your post, I’m eating a flax whole grain waffle, natural pb (ground at the store)with a local (Nettie’s) vanilla syrup.

    Thanks for your generosity and fun in sharing all your yummy goodness!

  58. 58

    Raquelle M. — December 10, 2010 @ 8:14 AM

    I never make plain peanut butter cookies. I always add a drop of grape jelly to them. I love the flavor of peanut butter and jelly together but don’t usually have bread on hand to make pb&j sandwiches. So this is a great way for me to have the two flavors together! Also, my boyfriend makes chocolate flavored power shakes. He adds almond milk, a scoop of peanut butter and slices of banana to them. It’s absolutely delicious. And the peanut butter adds good protein as well as flavor.

    And we always use Jif Natural Creamy Peanut Butter in our home.

    Thank you so much for this giveaway opportunity.

    kara segal — December 10, 2010 @ 8:20 AM

    I was a daddy’s girl and when I was a little girl. He and I would stay up late and one of the ways we would eat it was peanut butter mixed with honey. We ate it by the spoonful or we would put it on toast. I miss those late nights with my dad. He passed away March 1, 2000 at the age of 47.

  60. 60

    sara — December 10, 2010 @ 8:28 AM

    I like to use peanut butter to make these no-bake cookies from my childhood – the bottom layer is pb, crushed up graham crackers, and powdered sugar, and then there’s a layer of milk chocolate on top. So good, and really bring me back to my childhood!

  61. 61

    Amy@whatjewwannaeat — December 10, 2010 @ 8:37 AM

    I live for peanut butter! I love to make a peanut sauce for chicken, or mixed into oatmeal or in pancakes or of course cookies and cupcakes! PB and chocolate may be the most perfect combination.

    Terry Wilson — December 10, 2010 @ 8:44 AM

    I make homemade peanut butter cups at the holidays! It’s an easy recipe that the kids can enjoy helping with as they get to use some “cool tools” (paper treat cup, double boiler, triggered funnel~to cover pb with the chocolate) and they all love to eat the peanut butter cups too! It’s an awesome holiday tradition! Thanks for giving us this recipe~everyone is looking for some gluten-free recipes to add to their arsenal for their celiac friends!

  65. 65

    I use peanut butter for so many things. I have always loved it but when I was pregnant I especially loved it. I would eat it right out of the jar and once my husband caught me dipping tortilla chips in the peanut butter. Oops!

    Pirate T — December 10, 2010 @ 10:16 AM

    Food allergies are a funny thing. My Lil’ Guy was allergic to wheat, soy, egg whites and peanuts. 2 years later, only the peanut allergy remains. I am allergic to tree nuts and miss my favorite peanut butter recipes.

    I had a small epiphany when I tried the Trader Joe’s sunflower seed butter. It’s very similar in taste and texture to peanut butter, and Lil’ Guy and I both love it. I’m going to try substituting it in my Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Bar recipe. I can’t wait!

    Matt — December 10, 2010 @ 10:44 AM

    Rachel — December 10, 2010 @ 11:11 AM

    peanut butter cookies and homemade peanut butter cups are my favorites to use PB in – so good and so easy.

  88. 88

    Kimberly — December 10, 2010 @ 11:11 AM

    peanut butter gets used in baking at my house mostly in cookies. Classic peanut butter is probably my favorite, but I want to try your gluten free.
    Most of my peanut butter gets used in pb&Js though. They are my 4 year olds favorite lunch.

  89. 89

    Jacki — December 10, 2010 @ 11:11 AM

    I have my own cupcake business and peanut butter is a popular filling and really great as peanut butter chocolate frosting as well. YUM. I could not live without the stuff!

    Noelle — December 10, 2010 @ 11:13 AM

    I use peanut butter in my stiry fry sauces. Creamy pad thai or peanut noodles with tons of veggies. It makes for a FANTASTIC dish. I have a few recipes on my site too. Thanks for the nice giveaway! Have a good holiday!

  91. 91

    Georgie — December 10, 2010 @ 11:14 AM

    I have a confession to make – I can eat peanut butter straight from the jar I love it so much! So needless to say I put it in/on loads of food, mostly with chocolate.

  92. 92

    Diana — December 10, 2010 @ 11:15 AM

    I love using crunchy peanut butter to make my Grandmother’s take on Buckeyes. Instead of just combining peanut butter with butter and powdered sugar, she used the chunky pb, added rice krispies, and then dunked the whole thing in white or regular chocolate. The best! :)

  93. 93

    Erin — December 10, 2010 @ 11:18 AM

    I love making chocolate frosting out of melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter.

    Combine 12oz semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/2 cup peanut butter in a saucepan; stir over low heat until just melted and blended. Frost!

    These cookies sound lovely!

    I sometimes use peanut butter in place of tahini when I make hummus.

    Also, I like to enjoy a peanut butter & chocolate smoothie for a tasty, protein-packed breakfast.

    Adding a bit of pb when sauteing the meat in a thai dish really amps up the peanutty flavor and tempers the hot chilis if you don’t want it too fiery.

    I love PNB!

    Recently I tried adding a smallish amount to lamb shank stew–it turned out well, added a deeper note without overpowering the flavor mix.

    Most favorite: alternating bits or mixing bites of crunchy PNB straight from the jar with sliced bananas and squares of good quality dark chocolate. So yummy, and (I tell myself) a good way to get potassium and antioxidants along with fiber!

    We go through a ton of peanut butter at our house…straight out of the jar, with crackers or pretzels,in smoothies,or with jelly or a banana on a sandwich. I don’t bake with it a whole lot though because I have one son who is allergic (fortunately not servely), but I don’t like to bake things that we all can’t enjoy.

    Hi Lori, I was wondering where you can get the chunky red and green sugar you used for the cookies. I have only seen the white chunky sugar (at Trader Joe’s)..my grandchildren are all on a gluten-free diet and these cookies will surely bring a look of delight on their faces this Christmas! Thank you so much!

    It’s not very original, but it sure is tasty: peanut butter takes a lead role in my peanut butter pie. Oh. Yes.

    When I was a kid I always had toast with peanut butter and honey drizzled on top. It’s still one of my favorite ways to eat the sticky stuff!

    My favorite Christmas cookie is the peanut butter with kisses cookies. I love them cold! I also use it in a brownie recipe and the peanut butter goes in the topping along with rice krispies and melted chocolate chips. They are sooo yummy!

    Roxanne — December 12, 2010 @ 5:19 AM

    My favorite way to bake with peanut butter is the may the little peanut butter cookies and then put the Hershey’s kiss on top. Delicious!

    Jackie Williams — December 12, 2010 @ 5:28 AM

    Jif is the ONLY peanut butter I will use. So yummy!

    Jana Smith — December 12, 2010 @ 7:29 AM

    I have an 11 year old son who is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, so unfortunately I don’t bake with peanut butter any more, BUT. . . before I had him, it was No Bake Cookies and Peanut Butter Blossoms.

    My Mother-in-Law is Gluten Intolerant, so I will DEFINITELY be passing this recipe on to her!

    I just made peanut butter fudge last night for a holiday goodies baking party. Next weekend I’ll make some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! And some peanut butter / chocolate Reese’s like thing. I love peanut butter :)

    Lauren — December 12, 2010 @ 7:47 AM

    I love to add peanut butter to my oatmeal while it’s cooking in the morning – the PB thickens it up even more and adds a great, filling texture.

    I know that it sounds a bit strange, but I have peanut butter on rice crackers for breakfast almost every day.
    Regarding peanut butter recipes, I have a great recipe for Peanut Butter Pie that I got in New Orleans years ago. It is so good!

    Robin Stauffer — December 12, 2010 @ 8:17 AM

    I LOVE Jif! Honestly, my fav way to eat it us on toast. I love when it melts- then I sprinkle with chocolate chips, LOL. ;)

    JulieD — December 12, 2010 @ 8:28 AM

    To be honest, I love making a Rachel Ray dish called sesame noodles. Creamy peanut butter is one of the ingredients.

    Patrick — December 12, 2010 @ 8:54 AM

    I love a special kind of Thai chicken which has peanut butter in the sauce. Other obvious uses are for baked goods. I love peanut butter in anything! Just not peanut butter sandwiches (except for Peanut butter and Nutella)!

  235. 235

    RJ Flamingo — December 12, 2010 @ 9:50 AM

    Oh, my gosh! I only ever buy Jif peanut butter (extra chunky’s my fave!), and I use it all the time in cooking and baking. I sneak it into my chocolate chip cookies to replace some of the fat; I make a Thai-style dipping sauce for chicken or tofu; I fill those mini phyllo pastry shells with Jif, top it with chocolate (and sometimes coconut), and bake it for 10 minutes for a quickie dessert, too!

    Lindsay K — December 12, 2010 @ 10:48 AM

    I love Peanut Butter frosting on top of my chocolate Oreo cupcakes. Chocolate and Peanut Butter truly is a match made in heaven!

    Beth — December 12, 2010 @ 11:01 AM

    I love PB straight out of the jar all on it’s own, but also love making chicken satays with a peanut dipping sauce. Yum!

    I love the peanut butter cookie out of the Betty Crocker cook book. My daugher just asked for the recipe for her family….it’s a winner.

    I love to use pb in cookie recipes and also granola recipes, to add flavor and fat.

    Krystle — December 12, 2010 @ 12:18 PM

    I use Peanut butter in EVERYTHING. I use it every morning in a Peanut Butter banana smoothie (simply, soymilk, PB and frozen Bananas). My favorite was made into a thick mousse in the center of a chocolate, ganache topped cake I made for our wedding. *heavenly*

    I love peanut butter and when I lived in Japan many years ago I had family and friends mail me JIF. :-)

    I use JIF to make peanut butter, chocolate haystacks with the crunchy chow mein noodles. They are always a huge hit with people and never last long! It is a great mix of sweet and crunchy with peanut butter flavor too!

    Great photos too! <3 them!

    I love making Asian style dipping sauces or adding it to an Asian style salad dressing & of course making peanutbutter cookies from my mother’s old Betty Crocker cookbook.

    Lesley F — December 12, 2010 @ 3:05 PM

    My favorite way is a good old fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I know that is boring but I love it with a big glass of milk. Yummy!! I also use peanut butter when I am making my dogs their yummy treats….they love it too!

    Charlotte — December 12, 2010 @ 3:13 PM

    Only 2 of the 5 people in our family like peanut butter (I know, they’re crazy!) so I don’t get to cook or bake with it much. I need to just do it more often though and maybe they’ll start to like it! I love putting PB on my pancakes and waffles and now my son does too.

  249. 249

    TZel — December 12, 2010 @ 4:25 PM

    Peanut butter on toast is my all-time favorite snack. Only made better with the addition of bananas, Nutella, and/or fluff either individually or all at once. YUM!

    Nicole-Lynn — December 12, 2010 @ 8:29 PM

    Great giveaway! I like to use Peanut Butter for a recipe I found on Hershey’s website, they’re Peanut Butter Blossom cookies! I also like to make just regular Peanut Butter Cookies, especially at Christmastime.

    My fiance and I are on a tight budget saving for our upcoming wedding, and we’re hoping to be able to bake and cook a nice dinner for our families this year so we are able to have some type of gift for them. Winning this would be so nice. Thank you for the opportunity!
