    These Gluten-Free Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies are made with almond flour, coconut oil, and flaxseed. No eggs, no dairy, no gluten!

    Peanut Butter CookiesThis is the cookie you are going to want to make right now. 

    There are a lot of peanut cookie recipes out there, but I wanted one that was not only gluten-free but egg-free as well. 

    Peanut butter cookies are comfort food in all the right ways. Salty, sweet, and satisfying. This recipe is no different.

    Peanut Butter Cookie Dough

    Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies Ingredients

    These gluten-free peanut butter cookies don't take a lot of ingredients or a lot of effort. Here's the major ingredients you'll need:

    • Creamy peanut butter
    • Coconut oil
    • Ground flaxseeds
    • Coconut sugar
    • Organic cane sugar
    • Almond flour
    • Vanilla extract

    Peanut Butter CookiesThe result of using almond flour and forgoing the eggs for ground flaxseeds is a soft peanut butter cookie with just enough crispness in the bite.

    And here's a pro tip—they are even better when stored in the refrigerator. 

    Salted Peanut Butter CookiesTop them with a little sea salt before you put them in the oven, and you'll have peanut butter cookie bliss coming right up.
