Serve up thick, soft and chewy peanut butter cookies without egg for a healthy cookie everyone will love. These easy cookies are gluten-free and vegan but packed with sweet peanut butter flavor to please the taste buds!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl mix together gluten-free flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Add remaining ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer or handheld mixer. Beat on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Add flour mixture, blend on low speed until well mixed. The dough will be smooth and form a large ball.
Use a cookie scoop to create uniform size balls. Place on cookie sheet and then mash flat with a dinner fork in two different directions to create crisscross marks.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool a few minutes and then move them to a cooling rack. The cookies will firm up as they cool. Store in airtight container for up to 4 days.
Notes
Substitutions you can use when making these cookies:
Butter-flavored coconut oil: Swap out with regular unsalted butter to get the same buttery flavor though the cookies will not be vegan.
Maple syrup: Swap it out with an equal amount of liquid sweeteners such as honey, monk fruit sweetener, or agave syrup.
