Today, I’m sending my fourth and final off to her first day of school. After watching her three big siblings all go back over the last two weeks, this girl is READY!
I thought it was the perfect time to re-share our VERY FAVORITE peanut butter cookie recipe!
Friends, this is THE COOKIE that gets baked the most in our house…especially this time of year. There are only FOUR INGREDINTS! Yup. Just four. And bonus, they’re gluten-free without us trying to make them gluten-free.
I feel very confident that you have all four of these ingredients in your pantry right now, so pull ’em out, preheat that oven and get to baking. After school this year, your kiddos will be SO excited to see these!
They are just so, so, so delish!
Don’t forget, you can also catch Kensington’s Chocolate Chip Cookies (also g-free!) recipe on my blog too.
You guys, I have included a video for this recipe too so that you can see just how simple these cookies are to whip up!
Back to school season is just so much fun 🙂 . xx

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 18 cookies 1x
Description
The easiest little peanut butter cookies for after school…that just so happen to be gluten-free!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly grease a cookie sheet or place parchment paper down. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together all of your ingredients with an electric mixer until creamy. Once the batter has been combined, shape the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them on your prepared baking sheet (not too close together). (We typically get about 18 cookies.)
- Next, take your fork and lightly press down on each cookie in two different directions to lightly flatten them.
- Once your cookies are flattened, time to pop them in the oven.
- Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool about 5 minutes before enjoying.

Will have to try these with the baking powder. I have been making them for years without it , a recipe that was given to me by a lunch lady when I was in school. They are just so good !
Kara says
These are a staple favorite at our house!
Elizabeth says
These look so good! I’m going to try them with applesauce as an egg replacer since my son is allergic to eggs!
Nikki Merritt says
Oh wow! Going to whip these up right now before my fellas come home from work. I have a feeling they will be *very* well-received!

Can I use less sugar for these cookies , brown sugar or white?
Mix and Match Mama says
It’s regular sugar (not a brown sugar). I haven’t used less, but you certainly can try. Please let us know what you think! Thank you!
