Recipe Tips & Notes

If dough is too soft, cover and refrigerate 30-45 minutes or until chilled.

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 APGFF options online including Cup4Cup, Bob’s Red Mill and more. The all-purpose flour you choose will play a big roll in the flavour of your gluten free cookies, so take the time to find something you love.

    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!
