Ingredients

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!
