I love a good classic peanut butter cookie, but I hate gluten free baking. We eat mostly gluten free in our family because we have experienced so many benefits from it, but baked goods can be so hard to recreate. The reason these are the BEST gluten free peanut butter cookies is because you only need one flour
Making cookies is something that I always enjoy doing with my daughter. I love that food can bring people together in such a special way. Her and I have so many happy memories together in the kitchen, she loved making these gluten free peanut butter cookies with me. She especially loved pressing the fork into the dough to make the traditional criss cross pattern 🙂
We lined our sheet pan

- Bake for 7-9 minutes, be careful not to over bake, you want them to be soft and chewy. Let cool on a cookie rack. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag
- Drizzle some melted peanut butter over the top for extra PB flavor if desired!
These came out amazing! They were easy enough for my 11-year-old to make and the rest of her brothers and sisters greatly enjoyed Labor of love . Definitely one of the best peanut butter cookie recipes we’ve tried and the plus side is it’s gluten-free !!
Thanks Rachel! I’m so glad you guys liked them!
Oh my gosh .. my 11-year-old son and I just made these they are so yummy!!!
These are delicious! Peanut butter cookie recipes are often too greasy or too dry. This one is perfect!
Thank you!
So yummy!!! They don’t even taste gluten free!
These were great! I used King Arthur instead of Bob’s Red mill and it worked out fine. My whole family (including non pb people) loved this recipe too.
Great cookies and easy to make! I did use coconut oil instead of butter, at 1/3 cup, reduced the white sugar to 2/3 cup and added a tablespoon of applesauce. It was a bit greasy to roll up but still delicious! Thanks for a good recipe.
So glad you enjoyed them 🙂
