Three ingredient peanut butter cookies that are naturally gluten and dairy-free! Easy peanut butter cookies are quick to mix up and only take about 10 minutes in the oven.
These cookies are great when you want to whip up something quick! Kid-friendly, freezer-friendly, and perfect for potlucks, cookouts, or just as a snack.
Ingredients:
- Creamy peanut butter
- Coconut sugar
- Large egg
How to make:
1 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2 - Gather and measure the ingredients.
3 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
4 - Add the ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl and using a spoon or spatula mix to combine. This batter mixes up quickly!
5 - Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon measure, scoop batter into balls and then place on a baking sheet. Press down and shape into shapes that resemble cookies. Using a fork press into the cookie once and then once again in the opposite direction to create the criss-cross design. This is optional and you can bake them without this as well.
6 - Bake for about 10 minutes until the edges become slightly browned/golden. Do not overbake.
7 - Let the cookies cool for a few minutes in the baking pan as they will be soft and could fall apart if you try to move them too soon.
8 - Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let cool for about 1/2 hour.
9 - Store in an airtight container. These peanut butter cookies are freezer-friendly.
Baking and Recipe Tips:
- Do not overbake. Since the cookies are made with nuts, it's important to just bake the cookies until the edges are slightly browned/golden. The bottoms would be the first place to burn so keep an eye on them while they bake.
- Use creamy peanut butter. I use an organic natural no salt no sugar peanut butter that works great.
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking pan as the cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven.
Substitutions:
- Another nut butter such as almond butter would work to replace the peanut butter.
- The coconut sugar could be replaced by another sugar.
