Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe - Easy & Delicious

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup peanut butter (Smooth or crunchy, your preference)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (Packed tightly)
  • 1 large egg (Room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Pure vanilla extract preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (For leavening)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (Enhances flavor)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt.

    Mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Scoop the Dough

    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between each cookie as they will spread.
  4. Flatten Cookies

    Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to flatten them slightly.

    Create a crisscross pattern for a classic look.
  5. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden.

    Do not overbake; cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
  6. Cool Down

    Remove cookies from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    This helps them set and prevents breaking.
