You know that we I love peanut butter, right? LOVE.
Peanut butter cookies are our my favorite. The only thing I don’t care for is the floury taste that sometimes accompanies even the very best peanut butter cookies.
I found an amazing recipe on Joy The Baker‘s site when I began having gluten issues and have found that when paired with milk chocolate chips, these cookies are amazing. With or without the chocolate, they’re amazing – I won’t force anyone to put chocolate chips in their cookies.
Of course I’m going to share the recipe for these with you – because I am not one of those people who has secret recipes!
Five Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe
Ingredient 1. 1 cup Peanut Butter
Ingredient 2. 1 cup sugar
Ingredient 3. 1 egg
Ingredient 4. 1 tsp baking soda
Ingredient 5 (optional). 1/4 cup Chocolate chips
Mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Add baking soda. Fold in chocolate chips.
Use a spoon to scoop the dough and roll into 1 inch balls. The dough is flaky and might have to be squeezed together to make it stick into a ball – it’s ok – it’ll be worth it.
Use a fork to make crisscross marks in the cookie.
Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
Enjoy :)

YUM! Will be making these soon. Thanks for sharing.
Yum and so easy! Trying these this week!
I am on a peanut butter kick right now… Yummers!
They’re SO good, Carrie. I might have to go make some now..
Cookies with no flour!? Awesome. In my mind, that makes them healthy, and therefore I can eat many of them and feel guilt free. Did I ever mention my logic works best when it comes to cookies? ;-)
I LOVE your logic! That’s how I feel, too!
#5 is totally my favorite ingredient. :) Love it!
Thanks for linking up with It’s a Mom’s Life. I hope you’ll join us this week too (it starts tonight!)
If you use brown sugar instead of white they will stick together a little better.
Awesome eating one right now ! Only thing I did is added baking soda and used only half of sugar and it was great I will make it again with even less sugar just my taste.
Ooohhh, I’m trying it with less sugar! I always feel bad about dumping all that sugar in the recipe!
Delish! Well I think they are, just popped em in the oven but the dough is wonderful!
Tastes great! Instead of white or brown sugar, I used coconut sugar. I don’t know if this made the difference, but the dough was VERY runny, so much so making balls of dough was out of the question. Next time, I am going to use half the coconut sugar, too. Thanks for the easy recipe!
ooh, yum! Let me know what happens with half the coconut sugar!
Becca,
I am in love!
I am allergic to gluten and peanuts so it is rare to find something yummy that satisfies the desire for a warm chewy cookie (gluten free recipes usually turn out very crunchy).
I substituted the one cup of peanut butter with 1/2 cup sun butter (because it is very oily) and 1/2 cup almond flour.
I also cut the brown sugar to half a cup as Kate suggested.
The dough was perfect for rolling and the cookies are sooooo so good!
Thank you!
Did I mention that they were super easy and FAST! Cookie craving satiated in less than 30 minutes!
I didn’t believe it, but these cookies are ridiculously good.
Thinking of adding raisins for my hubby. I know he’d love that.
Try making these without the chocolate chips and when you take them out of the oven top with a Hershey’s kiss! Really good !
Its good if you add vanilla
Hey
Just about to bake some of these but wondering can I freeze the dough?
Thanks
Just made a batch of these with brown sugar and a little white sugar to make a full cup. Simple, quick and done in less than 30 minutes. I sprayed the pans with Pam for easy cleanup. No spacula necessary. They turned out awesome. Thanks for a very easy Gluten Free recipe.
Because I didn’t have one cup of either pb, I used 1/2 cup creamy pb, 1/2 cup crunchy pb, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup regular sugar, 1 egg, & 1 teaspoon baking soda.
They turned out GREAT! My 7-year-old had 4 cookies. She kept going back and sneaking cookies. I had three and my fiance just grabbed another one, and pb cookies are not even his favorite. So, these are a hit. I will be making these for Christmas treats.
OMG! YUM! If you love peanut butter and a fast batch of cookies look no further! I am so happy of how fast this is! Only wish I knew how much Weight watcher points one cookie is cause it’s hard to eat just one.
I followed the recipe and the cookies were burnt after 5 minutes. I’m sad that I wasted ingredients.
5 min and they’re burnt? Your oven must broken.
