VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

It’s been quite some time since I shared a cookie recipe. In other words, it was time. I shared a pic of me making these amazing Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies on my Instagram stories and finally sharing that recipe today. I have another peanut butter cookie recipe on the blog that is really popular, 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies, but that one uses almond flour, so this one is quite different. Therefore, I needed a go-to gluten-free peanut butter cookie recipe.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

You don’t need all-purpose flour here. All you need are 7 easy ingredients for these gluten-free peanut butter cookies (+salt if your peanut butter doesn’t have it):

white rice flour

tapioca starch

peanut butter

maple syrup

baking powder

vanilla extract

chocolate chips

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Step 1: Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl. Secondly, whisk them well.

Step 2: Add the peanut butter, syrup, vanilla and chocolate chips. Stir until a thick batter forms.

Step 3: Form balls using 2 tablespoons worth of the batter and place about 2 inches apart on the pan, 9 on each pan.

Step 4: Flatten each cookie with your hands to 1/4 inch thick which should yield them to about 2 inches wide.

Step 5: Bake for just 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Enjoy!

Could it be any easier? Making these gluten-free peanut butter cookies in 1 bowl, 7 ingredients (+salt) and in 20 minutes. Therefore, you have no excuse not to make them.

HOW TO BAKE OIL-FREE COOKIES

Like with all of my recipes, I do not use oil in my cookies or desserts! And you know, you don’t need that oil, you need moisture. As long as you have a moisture or fat element, it works the same. Since there is a heavy dose of peanut butter in these cookies, they provide all the richness and moisture we need and are naturally oil-free. It is important that you use a peanut butter with no added oils or sugar. My favorite brand is Simple Truth which I buy from Kroger. They only add a touch of salt.

I love that these cookies are super fudgy and moist with a slightly crispy edge. In other words, perfect.
