Easy gluten-free peanut butter cookies with only 5 ingredients: peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla. They’re dairy-free too!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉.

  1. Fit a hand mixer with the beater attachment. Then, in a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to mix until everything is incorporated. 
  2. Scoop up the dough into heaping tablespoons and use your hands to roll into balls. Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. 
  3. Use a fork to gently press a crisscross pattern into each cookie. This will help to bake evenly.
  4. Bake at 350℉ for 6-8 minutes, until they begin spreading and become aromatic. Don’t wait for them to brown. 

Cool before serving.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 
  • You can use all granulated sugar or all brown sugar. It will change the texture and consistency.
