Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe (2024)

He sounds like such a caring, sweet young boy!!! He is just glowing helping you with those cookies!! Thanks for this great recipe :)

Brilliant post.

I love the simplicity of this Carol…had no idea you could make cookies without any flour. And Julian looks like a natural in the kitchen too!

Your son is so cute. Nice helper in the kitchen. Love your cookies. Anything with peanut butter and I like it.

He sounds so sweet =) Anything with PB for me!

Julian is gorgeous!! Reminds me of my son, same exact age! who loves pokemon and cooking and has long hair. See my blog for pics of him. They would be great friends don't you think?! I can not believe you are a granny! I had to look at your picture again and again! you look great!! XO

I made these yesterday and they came out really great. Thanks for the recipe!

these biscuits are simply… fabulous!

What a cutie! Thanks for the recipe, I have made these before and loved them. I will send a link to my 11 year old nephew who is an aspiring chef. We made Pots de Creme together recently and I heard he went home and grilled cheeseburgers for my sister! Btw, have you tried this recipe with almond butter? Seems like it would work.

LOVE these! thank you for posting the recipe!

Hi again Carol,
I was feeling blue tonight and so my hubbie helped, yes I did just write my hubbie helped me to make these cookies. They were lovely, had a chew about them, which is always a good thing for GF biscuits, and I just wanted to say Thank You very much. Hope you're having a very pleasant Sunday evening, very best wishes, Charlotte (cupcake corner – again!)

This is such a wonderful cookie recipe. The batch never lasts more than a couple days at our house. My husband, who is gluten free, loves them. And my son who is nearly three LOVES TO HELP. I was thinking if I make a 1/2 batch and remove the egg, it would make great edible playdough. The dough itself is really tasty (not something you see with many g-free recipes).

My Aunt Judy just got back from a pack trip (horses) to mountains in Banff, Canada and the camp cook made this same recipe. Judy said they are some of the best peanut butter cookies ever!

thank you so much for these! I was looking for a dessert to make my son while my wife was out. It's so hard to find good desserts with a GFCF diet. These cookies are amazing. I almost can't believe I made them.

These are GREAT! My family eats them right up! I love that they have a more peanut butter taste!

I have been making these for probably 15 years, without the baking powder, from the recipe “Unbelievable Peanut Butter Cookies” from the side of the C&H sugar bag. They are awesome – I like to sprinkle a little extra kosher salt on top.

Delicious!!!!

Hi Carol, I love this recipe. I stumbled upon it and had to try it right away. Then I had to blog about it right away. Thanks so much for a great recipe.

Just made these with 1/2 cashew butter and 1/2 sunbutter. Also tossed in a few chocolate pieces. Yum!!! Thanks for this recipe. My hubby said the cookies “met a deep need.” :)

You’ll have to tell me if my substitutions are gluten free. I used sunflower butter and nutella instead of peanutbutter. Yummy. Thanks for recipe. Quick and easy to do.

I hope you will answer me, how can I substitute the eggs (I don’t have egg substitutions in Egypt that are commercial) do you have anything natural that I can do? Thank you, this seems like a great recipe :)

These are such a treat! Perfect amount of peanut butter, chewiness & sweetness. Thank you so much for this recipe!! Definitely a keeper! =)

I am cooling some of these right now! I hope they get a bit harder as they cool because they wouldn’t be sharable if they don’t (Although still delicious). Thanks for an easy GF recipe- I’m giving these and some of these: yummly.com/recipe/Vegan-Drop-Cookie-Food_com-189038 to my future sister in law who is strictly GF. I don’t do much GF baking so thanks!

was really looking for some quick cookie recipe.. and here it is.. Thanks for sharing.

First things first, what a beautiful child! He sounds like he’s as beautiful inside as he is outside. As for the cookies, I am making them tomorrow! If it weren’t so late I’d be in the kitchen making them right now – but it’d stress out my cat if I got up from the couch right now. Thanks for all your recipes. On a serious note, you’ve helped make my (health-dictated) transition to a gluten free life much easier and yummier. You’ve kept me sane and for that my husband, daughters, and cats thank you!

For cookies that need ‘flour’ try taking oatmeal and puting it in a coffee grinder/food processes for oatmeal flour :) there’s no wheat there, or cherieos check-mix rice chex exc for your flour. Some cookies need them.

I can’t wait to try these peanut butter cookies, just what I’ve been looking for; BUT — any nutritional information? I’d love to at least know calories — fat and sugar would be good. Then I can fit them into my day. THANKS!

Very good!

Awesome. Made with half brown and half granulated sugar. Any ideas how to make them a little more moist?

Delicious. I just made a batch. I decided to do a test run in preparation for making them tomorrow for someone. One batch came out a bit too crispy and black on the bottom (I used aluminum foil and cooked the crispy batch a bit longer than 10 minutes); however, my first batch was perfect (cooked with aluminum foil and at the recommended time). I cant wait to make another batch tomorrow. I have the hang of it now (fingers crossed). Although, I will add less sugar as these were just a tad too sweet for me. Love this recipe! So easy.

These look great! Need to buy some GF baking powder and GF vanilla!

Can you just substitute one cup brown sugar instead of granulated sugar? Or would it be different measurements ? Recipe sounds great can’t wait to try !

I made these exactly as directed and they were way too sickeningly sweet! I had to toss them, which is a first for me, since I love anything peanut butter.
