You guys.
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!
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.
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!
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. 
Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
No judgement here.

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.

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.

Do you think a flax egg would work for these? My daughter is vegan.
