No, don't leave out the baking soda. Follow the recipe, but just leave out the flour. Let us know how things turn out.
Chief Longwind Of The North said:Ingredients for flourless peanut butter cookies:
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 large egg
20 Hershey's Kisses (optional)
Combine the sugar and baking soda with a wired whisk. Add the peanut butter and egg. Blend until smooth.
Preheat the oven to 350' F.
Form 1 tbs. of the cookie dough into a ball and place onto a parchment covered cookie sheet. Make another ball and place it about an inch from the first one. Repeat until you have about 20 dough-balls on the cookie sheet. Flaten the cookies out with the tines of a fork, in a criss-cross pattern. Place a Hersheys Kiss in the middle and bake for 9 minutes. Remove, take the parchment paper off, with the cookies, and place on a clean surface to cool. Enjoy.

It seems like 5 minutes is too short. The cookies weren't thoroughly baked even after 10 minutes. What is the maximum baking time?

Chief Longwind Of The North said:The recipe called for 9 minutes, not 5. They would be definitely undercooked at the 5 minute mark. And remember, all ovens don't give you the correct temperature when you set the dial. Some are hotter, and some are cooler. 9 minutes is a starting point. Check them at that time. They may still need another minute or three to finish cooking

I make a lot of peanut butter cookies and only use natural peanut butter. It doesn't even have salt. We have a peanut butter factory here that is close by. When I lived in the city where it is made, in the summer you could smell the peanuts roasting.Wow, that's really cool. I love the idea of having the mixer built into the jar!

Natural Peanut Butter Mixer for 16 oz. Regular NPB Jars
This mixer is great for re-mixing the oil separation that naturally occurs with natural peanut butter. It is uniquely designed to re-mix with no messing or splashing. This model fits our 16 oz. jars of Smucker's®, Adams®, and Laura Scudder's® Natural Peanut Butter. Easy to use, easy to clean, and made in the U.S.A.
Smuckers sells a jar top that has a mixer attached to it. It looks like the dough mixer on a KA.
Mixing that oil that sits on top in a natural peanut butter jar is a lot of hard work. This jar top does the work for you. Click on Shop on Line first, then under Organic Products. If you use a lot of organic peanust butter, it makes sense to have one of these.
