Note:  This recipe was originally published on July 23, 2013.  I updated the photos and recipe.  It is one of my favorites and I wanted to make sure it is on your baking list!

Fireflies are another perk of summer.  As if fresh fruit and vegetables, longer days, sunshine, warmth, and flowers weren’t enough, there are those majestical little bugs literally lighting up the night sky.  I love seeing them fly around.  Even when I’m having a less than stellar day, one flash from a firefly and I can’t help but smile 🙂

When I was younger, I would sometimes go outside and catch them.  I was pretty terrified of bugs (who am I kidding – I still am!), so clasping my hands around one was accompanied by lots of shrieking and wincing, as though this harmless little bug could actually do any damage to me.  No jars were involved, no bugs harmed in the midst of my summer fun.  I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself.

The days of catching fireflies are long gone in my world, though it would probably do me some good to cut loose and head outside to recreate part of my childhood.  Regardless, I am no less fascinated by fireflies today than I was then.  This year there seem to be more than ever before.  Just a moment or two of looking out the window reveals at least a dozen of them making their presence known.  Some even come right up to the window to say hi!  I become a total dork and say hi right back, hoping they’ll flash again.  I love fireflies – they are truly amazing!

These Flourless Triple Peanut Butter Cookies are also pretty amazing.  Taking flourless peanut butter cookies to a whole new level, these are full of peanut butter chips and Reese’s Pieces – two of my favorite things.  Dangerously easy to make, I can’t tell you how much I love these cookies hot out of the oven.  I crave them constantly.  Give them a try and you’ll crave them all the time too!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups mix ins like Reese’s Pieces, peanut butter chips, carob or chocolate chips, white chocolate – the sky is the limit!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together peanut butters, sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the mix ins until distributed.
  3. Scoop golf ball sized portions of cookie dough and roll them into balls. Press gently to flatten slightly. Leave space for spreading between the cookies. It is best to bake half at a time unless you have a double oven. They do not do well on the bottom rack in the oven.
  4. Bake about 15 minutes until golden brown and firm around the edges, but still gooey in the middle. Serve warm or cool completely on the pan. Cookies may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or frozen, wrapped in parchment and foil and placed in a zipper bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the microwave about 1 minute.

    Having a bit of firefly envy! I have never seen any here along the central coast of California. I imagine the summers are too foggy and cool? But I have had peanut butter cookies and often find them dry and without much peanut flavor. You flourless version magnificently cures those complaints, an irresistible cookie!

      Or if you don’t want to buy the Reese’s, just double up on the pb chips – I’ve made them that way too and they are just as delicious!

    I love making these cookies. They were one of my kids stand bys growing up. and I love fireflies, but unfortunately Colorado does not have them Though my kids are now just about 23 I remember when they were 10 and we took them to Illinois. Up to that point they had only heard us describe fireflies. They were so excited to actually see them.

    I’m terrified of bugs so even though fireflies are pretty, I’m not brave enough to try to catch them! I seriously need these cookies in my life. I keep collecting flourless PB cookie recipes and I’ve yet to make any of them. I’m printing this out and I swear, I’m going to make these, lol.

    Triple peanut butter? I’m in! Gotta make some of these – and eat them while watching the fire flies. We’ve been noticing more this year than in the last few years, although not nearly as many as when I was a kid. Of course I was a kid then, and you know how kids see the world. 😉

    I’ve recently developed a serious fear of fireflies though I loved them as a kid. It’s really weird!

    Peanut butter is the eternal love of my life though. These are speaking to my soul.

    Ainsley is making these cookies right now! Aunt Debbie made these a few weeks ago when we visited; however, Alan and Ashley’s dogs ate them off the counter before we got to eat one:) So we are making our own batch now! Aunt Debbie raves about these cookies. We have never made flourless cookies and are super excited about your recipe! Thanks for the recipe and post!

It's such a reminder of the great work the charity does.
