Recipe Notes
Tried this gluten free recipe?
Let us know how it was!This gluten free recipe gives you tons of nut butter flavour and richness, and an incredible texture when you bite into it. It’s slightly crisp on the edges, but soft, chewy, moist, and almost fluffy. These are phenomenal when enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but are still delicious after they’ve cooled too.
Do not overmix – Just as with virtually every other gluten free baking recipe involving flour, make sure not to overmix. For the most consistent results, use creamy style nut butter versus a natural peanut butter.
Searching for an all-purpose gluten free flour? Find a great selection of all purpose gluten free flour options including Bob’s Red Mill, gfJules and more.

This is my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe. Was enjoyed by my family and friends who I shared it with as well.
This was as good as the ones I made as a child
This is such a classic cookie recipe. So tasty and my husband loved it. Which, by the way, peanut butter cookies are his favorite cookie. Will definitely make these again.❤️
Made almost exactly – just added a couple handfuls of chopped peanuts for a little more protein in a sweet snack. I’ve never been a peanut butter cookie fan, but I am now!
Fabulous recipe! Absolutely perfect! I used Adam’s creamy and it was great as is. I did sprinkle a tiny bit of extra sugar on top. Yum!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Easy directions; simple ingredients. I did coconut sugar as a substitution. 10/10.

Very simple and very easy to make.
Excellent recipe! The best peanut butter cookies I have ever made, and I cook and bake almost every day. The directions are very easy to follow. I made these today for a BBQ and might be making them again because my family cannot stop eating them.
Very easy recipe has ingredients in it that everybody has in the kitchen. Love this
These cookies are to die for and made in a snap!
These are the best cookies ever, chewy and tasty without being too sweet, which is all you can ask of a cookie. These will definitely become a staple
These were so good I couldn’t stop eating them…only had a small amount of sugar so I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar. They were chewy but that’s how I like my cookies. Will make again but find someone to share them with…
Easy and good!
Love these quick and easy recipe excellent base. When I am feeling more adventurous I add espresso powder, pecans, cinnamon, and vanilla. Delicious both ways.

Honestly I feel like 5 stars is a under rating that are soo simple and quick to make and people think I am like a master chef
