Equipment

1 baking sheet

Ingredients

1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 ¼ cups coconut sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup
½ cup vegan butter I like Miyokos or Kite Hill brands
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 ⅓ cups gluten free all-purpose flour I like King Arthur brand!
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350.
Combine the peanut butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, vegan butter, vanilla, and eggs in a bowl and mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the gluten free flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir to combine. Form the dough into 30 balls - I like to use a 1-inch cookie scoop to keep them all the same size.
Use a fork to press down on each cookie to flatten and make a criss-cross imprint pattern on the top. Bake for 9-10 minutes.
Let the cookies cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Brands: Some excellent options are Thrive Market, Justin's, MaraNatha, and Laura Scudders. Even popular brands like JIF and Skippy are gluten-free, however, I would opt for their "natural" versions for healthier ingredients and less added sugar. Always check for the gluten free label on peanut butter products just to be sure.

Storage: Store your cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can also keep them in a Ziploc bag or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. See FAQs below for how to freeze the dough for later use!

Double Batch: Chances are, you're going to want to make a batch to eat, and a batch to freeze. Simply click "print" on the recipe below and increase the serving amount and the ingredient amounts will automatically adjust!
