Ingredients Needed
- Gluten Free Flour. You can use my mix or purchase one at the store. My favorite is Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-free Cup for Cup flour mix.

- Butter, salted
- Sugar, granulated and light brown sugar
- Egg
- Milk
- Vanilla Extract
- Baking Soda

- Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips, optional
How To Make Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies
- Cream together butter and peanut butter.
- Add in sugars and stir to combine.
- Mix in egg, milk and vanilla
- Add in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Form cookie dough into balls and roll in sugar or add 1 cup of chocolate chips
- Place on cookie baking sheet and use hand to slightly flatten the balls of dough. You can also use a fork to press lines into the cookie if you prefer.
- Bake at 350 degrees F oven until barely brown, about 10-12 minutes. Do not over bake. They should look like they need to bake for another minute or two.
Tips from leigh Anne
- Instead of peanut butter, use your favorite nut butter such as almond butter or cashew butter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze gluten free peanut butter cookies?

Yes, these cookies can be made with all purpose flour if you don’t need them to be gluten free.
