Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

These gluten-free peanut butter oatmeal cookies blend creamy peanut butter with gluten-free flour and rolled oats for a chewy texture with a nutty flavor. Sweetened with brown sugar and lightly spiced with cinnamon, the dough is chilled before baking to maintain its shape. A classic fork criss-cross pattern distinguishes them as peanut butter cookies. The result is a golden-edged cookie with a moist, tender center.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour gluten-free
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the softened butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar to a stand mixer. Beat on medium-high until completely combined, smooth, and creamy. Scrape the sides of the mixer and beat in the vanilla extract and the egg until combined.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients (flour, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, and oats...the dry ingredients) and beat on medium-high speed until a thick dough forms.
  3. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes
  4. When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Roll balls of dough about 1 inch in diameter and place them on the baking sheet. Use a fork to make a criss-cross indentation, our signature tell tale sign that they are, indeed, peanut butter cookies.
  6. Bake for 8 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden-brown.  I do 12 minutes.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before digging in.

Notes

  • Substitute brown sugar with ½ cup coconut sugar plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
