Ingredients
- 1 Cup Natural Peanut Butter (no sugar or other additives)
- 3/4 Cup Sugar – Do not use Honey as a Substitute.
- 1 1/2 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 Cup Chocolate Chips (I use the Mini Dairy Free kind by Enjoy Life)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In medium bowl, beat all ingredients until well blended. Mixture should be moist, but slightly crumbly.
- Using a cookie scoop, or your hands, form dough into small balls and place onto a parchment or Silpat lined cookie sheet or baking stone.
- You can press each dough ball with a fork for a traditional Peanut Butter Cookie ‘Criss Cross’, a sprinkle with extra sugar if desired.
- Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes until cookies are golden brown.
- Let cool completely, and serve!
Notes
Nut Butter Alternatives: If you have a Peanut allergy, feel free to substitute the Peanut Butter for another Nut Butter or Sunflower SunButter! Be aware that very oily nut butters may not work well.
Storage: Because of the natural ingredients used, the cookies store best in the Fridge or Freezer.

There isn’t any flour in this recipe?
Hi Stacy!
This particular recipe doesn’t contain any flour – which is perfect for those trying to avoid grains altogether. However, I’ve got another recipe coming soon for a more traditional peanut butter cookie that tastes more like the real thing if that’s what you’re looking for.
God Bless!

Have you ever used an egg replacement in these cookies? Unfortunately, my son has that allergy too :)
