Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Just one bite of these bakery-style cookies and you’ll discover how tasty homemade gluten-free cookies can be. Melt-in-your-mouth delightful, you’ll want to bake a batch for your whole family.  

While the main ingredient in most cookie recipes is flour, these flourless cookies eliminate it altogether. Instead, these gluten-free cookies use peanut butter, making them sweet and creamy. 

You can’t go wrong enjoying your chocolate chip cookies with a cold glass of milk, but they also go well with iced tea or coffee. Serve them for an afternoon snack or enjoy a cookie as dessert after dinner. 

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients

• Peanut butter - creamy peanut butter
• Sugar - granulated sugar
• Sugar - lightly packed brown sugar
• Egg
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Vanilla extract
• Chocolate chips - milk chocolate chips

Peanut butter serves as the base for these flour-less chocolate chip cookies. While creamy peanut butter is the best, you can try using crunchy peanut butter for a nutty crunch. 

A 2-inch or large cookie scoop is the perfect size for these cookies. But if you want smaller cookies, you can use a smaller cookie scoop and reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes. 

While the recipe calls for milk chocolate chips, you could easily substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips. Chopped walnuts would also be a delicious way to add a little crunch to your cookies. 

How to Make Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

FIRST STEP: Preheat oven to 350°F.

SECOND STEP: Stir together peanut butter, both sugars, egg, baking soda, salt, and vanilla until well combined.

THIRD STEP: Stir in chocolate chips until just incorporated.

FOURTH STEP: Drop 2” balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

FIFTH STEP: Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.  

SIXTH STEP: Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

What kind of peanut butter should I use? 

Creamy peanut butter works the best, but you can try using crunchy peanut butter for a nutty crunch.
