These are the best gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, which are made without flour and are a delicious homemade treat that is both creamy and easy to make. Peanut butter serves as the main foundation, adding an extra tasty delight to these flourless chocolate chip cookies.
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 1 cup of peanut butter, creamy
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- ¼ cup of granulated sugar
- ½ cup of lightly packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of milk chocolate chips
Substitutions And Additions
PEANUT BUTTER: Creamy peanut butter is the best, but if you would like to add a nutty crunch, feel free to use crunchy peanut butter.
I would avoid using natural peanut butter for this because the oil separation can make these cookies greasy.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Semi-sweet chocolate chips would also work fine in this gluten-free cookie recipe. And, if you are a real chocolate lover, you can toss in a few extra chocolate chips for good measure.
SUGAR: You can substitute the white sugar with coconut sugar or cane sugar in a 1:1 ratio in this gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe.
How To Make This Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
STEP TWO: Stir together peanut butter, butter, sugars, egg, baking soda, salt, and vanilla until well combined.
STEP THREE: Fold in chocolate chips until just incorporated.
STEP FOUR: Drop 2-inch balls of cookie dough (3 tablespoons of dough) onto the prepared baking sheets and bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
A 2-inch or large cookie scoop would be the perfect size for these cookies.
If you want smaller cookies, you can use a smaller cookie scoop and reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes.
STEP FIVE: Allow to cool on the cookie sheet to firm up before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
How To Serve
This amazing recipe makes a good chocolate chip cookie, one that would be delicious for an afternoon snack.
Serve with a glass of milk, iced caramel macchiato, or our iced tea, raspberry iced tea, sweet peach iced tea, or our southern strawberry sweet tea on the side.

Made these last night and my husband said he didn’t like them, I thought they were really good, but today I can’t keep him out of them! I love them too, they have this awesome almost creamy texture inside. I think they were a bit crumbly coming off the cookie sheet and eating them warm, but they taste awesome especially next day! I will be making more of these often as I am trying to avoid gluten as much as possible and cookies are my weakness! Thanks for this great recipe!
