These Peanut Butter Cookies come together with only 5 ingredients! Get ready for the softest peanut butter cookies you’ve ever had! Best news ever: they’re also gluten-free!
We love peanut butter cookies and their satisfying, nutty, sweetness. This recipe is ridiculously delicious, quick and easy. Seriously, we can make these cookies faster than we can get them from the store! Bonus: these goodies are gluten free, so our friends who can’t have flour can always count on us for a treat.
History Lesson: Hats off to George Washington Carver for being an important early peanut promoter. His agricultural efforts extended to cookbooks that included peanut cookies which eventually evolved into the peanut butter cookie of today—hazzah!

What if I don’t have parchment paper or a baking mat?
These turn out best with a little buffer between them and your pan, but if you don’t have parchment paper or a baking mat, just be sure to lightly grease your baking sheet.
-
Can I make these in advance?
Yes. This dough freezes well, so if you want to make some to have on hand, simply wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze in an airtight container for up to three months.
-
Can I use a different nut butter?
Allergies getting you down? We understand. This recipe can work with your nut butter of choice, though it will completely change the flavor. These cookies do not always work with natural nut butters so be warned.
-
Can I use chunky peanut butter?
You can, but creamy is best to keep the integrity of the texture for these cookies.

I love these cookies and my family loved them, super easy recipe. Since I am TD1 diabetic and was wondering if you had any easy recipes using Splenda?
Thanks!
With flour being such a precious commodity right now, this recipe was perfect. With the addition of my MIL’s raspberry jam which balanced the sweetness, these were perfect!
I’ve made these a few times now and they are a hit with my family! Easy to make and super yummy.
I was unsure when I pulled them out of the oven but they were perfect! Whole family loved it!
I just made them and like them very much! They turned out great and 8 minutes was the correct time. One question, Rachel…the brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup or not packed?
Always use packed unless it specifies not to for any recipe.
I love this recipe, hubby is gluten free and he loves them as well.

I replaced the sugar and brown sugar with baking stevia. Cookies were good!
