    Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    A quick and easy gluten free cookie recipe that tastes absolutely incredible and comes together in minutes.

    You guys.  

    Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Gluten free doesn’t always mean healthy.  Gluten free also doesn’t always mean gross.  It means exactly what it says.  Gluten free! While there’s no gluten, there are many other delicious ingredients that can make even a gluten free cookie A-MAZING!

    Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie-3

    Theeeeeeeeeese Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are BOMB.COM!  Yes, I just said that.  And yes, they really are.  Just look at that soft, crackly deliciousness.  Mouth. Is. Salivating.  

    Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie

    Did I mention this is a one bowl gig?  I’m into it.  You can also make these dairy free by leaving out the chocolate chips.  Although, I know there are some chocolate chips that are considered dairy free, so in that case, the more the merrier!  

    Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie-2

    The dough for this recipe is not your typical cookie dough.  It’s got more moisture (much better than using the word moist) than you’re probably used to, but don’t let that scare you away.  KEEP GOING.

    If you’re really nice, bring ’em to a neighbor or a friends house to share.

    And if not?  I won’t tell.

    Description

    A quick and easy gluten free cookie recipe that tastes absolutely incredible 


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup creamy peanut butter ( a natural drippy peanut butter works best)
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 egg
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 3/4 cup semi-sweet (or dark chocolate chips)

    Instructions

    1. In a large mixing bowl add the peanut butter, sugar, baking soda, egg, and vanilla. Blend until well combined. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips. Cover and put in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, or up to overnight.
    2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet and set aside. Remove cookie dough from the fridge and make golf ball size balls and bake for 10-11 minutes. Let cool on the pan for 1-2 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

      Haven’t tried this yet, but it looks & sounds delish! I’m wondering if this dough could be rolled out flat & cut with cookie cutters? Thank you!

        I think the dough is way too soft for cookie cutters

      I am writing as they are setting. They look really good. I didn’t have any chocolate chips, so I cut up dove dark chocolate. Hope it turns out well. I am not gluten-free, but my cousins are… so I thought it would be fun to make them.

      Ive made this recipe before using no vanilla, and they still turned out amazing! Just in case anyone wanted to make these but didn’t have or or want to use vanilla 🙂 I am gonna try it out with vanilla next I bake a batch just to see what a difference it makes!

      I made these again using crunchy unsweetened peanut butter and they are incredible! We don’t need gluten free but why not? My husband said they had a texture of a macaroon. Crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I used mini chocolate chips too. I had to take them to work otherwise we would have eaten them all! Thank you for this great recipe!

      Ive made these several times and they arw a huge hir. I also add nuts and reduce the sugar by almost half and Ive had no troubles. They do flatten out more. Thank you dor a great and super easy recipe.

      Wow, just made these and they were a big hit with the kids. We are gluten free and having NO flour or butter I was skeptical! You don’t happen to know the sugar content per cookie, I am sure its a lot. Thought of reducing the sugar (we try to reduce refined sugars) but was afraid since its a major part of the recipe it would not work out.

        So glad the kids loved them! I don’t know the sugar content, not sure I wanna know! Could definitely try reducing the sugar a bit…Would maybe just change the texture a bit.

        We love this recipe. To reduce the sugar content we replace 1/2 the sugar with LSA or with almond meal and whole Flax seeds. It works really well. Hope that helps.

        I made two batches, one with vanilla, chocolate chip, and butterscotch chip mix. The other batch with maple syrup as a vanilla substitute and mint chocolate chips. Both were awesome. The maple syrup batch had a subtle maple taste which was my wife and kids favorite. Thanks for an easy recipe.
