Absolutely the Best Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Recipe #135725 | 20 min | 10 min prep | add private note

Not just for the celiacs! I was skeptical, since the last recipe I tried was gritty, heavy and nasty. These are light, rich and absolutely perfect. I actually like these better than "regular" peanut butter cookies, and from a big fat Momma, that's saying something! Adapted from Catherine's recipe.

My customers loved these cookies. I did substitute the garbanzo flour with rice flour and I added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract as I do with my regular peanut butter cookies. The next time I will make them vegan by replacing the egg with an egg replacement.

    These turned out really great - my DH, who has no issues with gluten - said he could not tell at ALL that they were gluten free! I made a few small changes to the recipe: I used 1/2 cup potato starch, 1/2 cup rice flour & 1/2 cup tapioca flour (I did not have garbanzo flour). I also added a tbsp. of vanilla (just a personal preference) and 2 tbsp of organic whole milk to the batter with the wet ingredients, as well as mixing some dark chocolate chips in at the end (PB & chocolate need eachother IMHO) . I ended up making 30 BIG cookies, and cooked them for about 13 minutes. Thanks for sharing an awesome recipe!

    Very good. I am not a big fan of bean flour so next time I might consider using a diffrent type of flour. Thanks for posting.
