My first flourless cookies

Just a few months ago I discovered that flourless cakes and cookies existed. I was A) surprised and B) weirded out by the idea of it . A cake could maybe pull it off, but come on cookies? Alas, last night as I avoided revising and finishing the training program for reference librarians I have to design (due today *gasp*) I started searching through recipes. I wanted to find something that used peanutbutter because I was craving it, but we had no bread or crackers to smear it on. I originally tried to convince the boyfriend to bake, he refused to try a cake and when I suggested these cookies, well....I think the idea of flourless cookies scared him more than me. If I wanted sweets I would have to do it myself. The cake, although yummy looking was out of the question as I would have to sub at least 2 ingredients and these cookies just looked so yummy. They were way quick too! Probably 5 minutes to put all the ingredients together, the oven preheated just in time, and there was only 2 cookie sheets worth in at 11 minutes a pop. Score!
