Peanut butter cookies are just a classic. Who doesn't like peanut butter, right? But just add some chocolate chips into them and watch the magic happen!
There are a few tips to make your gluten-free cookies better:
- Baking powder - it makes them a lot more fluffy.
- The flour - the choice of flour will significantly make your cookies a lot better! In this recipe, I used buckwheat flour for its taste and consistency.
- Vegan butter - peanut butter is creamy, but butter makes everything softer, creamier and the cookies won't be hard!
- Salt - salt enhances the flavors even more. Definitely don't skip this step.
For this recipe, you will need only one bowl.
First, in a large bowl whisk vegan butter and peanut butter until fluffy.
Next, add brown sugar and whisk for a few more seconds.
Lastly, add buckwheat flour, baking powder, salt, and milk.
Combine and create a smooth dough.
Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Create balls and flatten them up into 0.5 inches thick. Add the chocolate chips on top and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden.
These gluten-free chocolate peanut butter cookies are such a nice flavorful treat. The combination of peanut butter, chocolate, and buttery cookies is irresistible. Enjoy them with a cup of milk.
