Gluten free peanut butter cookies
Whata weekthis has been. Crazy doesn’t begin to describe it and on top of it we got this crazy snow storm, NEMO, that actually got us bad. Well I guess not as bad as other places but never the less bad!!
Anyhow, through out these few days I have baked these peanut butter cookies, which were a saver for us. I really like the filling of a warm peanut butter cookie and a glass of milk when cold outside!
My kids were thrilled I made them and they couldn’t believe these peanut butter cookies were gluten free. I am actually loving all of the gluten free goodies I have been baking lately and I truly don’t miss the whole wheat flour at all. I will still use it eventually but for now I am liking the oat, almond and coconut flour thus far. I think they are great to bake with.
Anyhow, I left the peanut butter cookies as is and did not use any chocolate or anything else for that matter. I also used crunchy peanut butter but just stick with the smooth kind because I think it will give you a better result.
By the way the new website will come very very soon. I am so excited to share it with you all…
Make sure you flatten the cookies with the palm of your hand before placing in the oven. Also use creamy peanut butter. I used crunchy but the results will be better with a creamy kind. Also be ware of trans fat peanut butter versions out there!
These cookies were nice and chunky. They were crispy as well :-)
PrintGluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Yield: 20 large cookies
Prep Time: 5-10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients:
16 oz organic peanut butter, room temperature
3/4 cups unrefined sugar
1 tsp baking soda
2 organic eggs
2 tsp gluten free vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350Fº and line two cookie sheets with parchment and set aside.
Place peanut butter, sugar, and baking soda in a medium bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, and mix on medium speed until well blended. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing on low just until blended... about 25 seconds.
Roll tablespoon sized balls of dough, about 1-inch in diameter, and place on the prepared baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Press the balls flat with the heal of my hand.
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.

P.S. I’m so excited to see the new site!
Can’t wait to try this. My husband loves peanut butter ANYTHING!
I’m happy that you’re safe from the storm! But it still stinks that it hit you. This is number 324 not to live on the East Coast. ;)
Anyway, the cookies look great! Love that they’re gluten free. You’re getting good at the whole gluten-free thing. :) Or rather, you’ve been good from the start but are doing it more often. Fun!
this looks soooo good Miryam. Love peanut butter cookies, I need to try out the gluten free stuff, I just figure if I”m not allergic do I need it? What is the benefit? Would love to know.
Can’t wait to see your new website, I want a change too, I’ve been shopping around.
I wish I saw this recipe before I was stuck in my apartment due to Nemo! I love how simple and tasty these look. I bet your house smelled amazing! Thanks for sharing :)

It’s just so sad that my partner is allergic to peanuts. :( It seems to be a nice snack.
This looks so good but has sweetner. Cant find carb free sweetners, really struggling to find zero carb recipes. Especially for cookies. My husband is on the Keto diet and wants no sweetner or flour because of carbs. Do zero carb treats exist?
That would really hard to accomplished as many food obtain cabs. I am afraid I can not help you in that department. Sorry!
Instead of sugar can I use honey or agave? Love your blog, I refer to it all the time!
I am not sure. I think you can sub some of it but all of it the batter may become too runny. Thanks so much :-)
