Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies
These gluten free peanut butter cookies are they best you'll ever have - soft, chewy, and they taste even better than wheat based cookies!
Servings: 24 Large cookies
Calories: 134kcal
Equipment
- 2 Large Baking Sheets
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- ½ cup Brown rice flour
- ½ cup Sorghum flour
- ¼ cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoon Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon Baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ½ cup Softened butter
- ½ cup Peanut butter
- ½ cup Granulated sugar
- ½ cup Light brown sugar packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk together all dry ingredients (except sugars) until well combined, set aside.
- In a stand mixer, cream together butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add in eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until well incorporated and smooth.
- Slowly add dry mix to the mixer bowl, and carefully mix until well incorporated and smooth.
- Wrap dough in plastic film, chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C), line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll 1.25" balls out of the cookie dough. Arrange dough balls on baking sheets leaving at least 2" between cookies - they flatten out a fair amount.
- Gently press the tops of each slightly with a fork.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes.
- Cookies will look puffy, but flatten out as they cool. Do not overbake!
- Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from baking sheets. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
If you like your cookies soft, bake for a little less time (I know one friend who goes only one step beyond "raw"!). If you like them a little drier and crispier, bake for an extra minute or two.
