Why You'll Love These Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

  • Naturally sweetened with honey
  • Made with almond flour and coconut flour (hello, extra protein!)
  • Easy to make, no chill time, and done in under 30 minutes
  • Soft in the center, lightly crisp on the edges, and full of melty chocolate chips

Ingredients for Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened + unsalted)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup honey (or sub pure maple syrup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions for Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, mix together the butter, peanut butter, honey, egg, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, salt, coconut flour, and almond flour. Stir until a dough forms.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop 3 tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Gently flatten each dough ball with a fork or your fingers (they don't spread much).
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.

Tips & Substitutions

  • Nut-butter option: Feel free to experiment with other nut butters!
  • Egg-free version: Substitute with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed + 3 tablespoon water, let sit for 5 min).
  • Chunky or smooth peanut butter? Either works! Just avoid ones with added oils or sugars.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
