    Peanut butter is better for you than you think. It contains tons of protein and essential vitamins. Work peanut butter into your favorite recipes!

    Is peanut butter gluten-free?

    Yes, peanut butter usually is gluten-free. Some varieties though will make versions with mix-ins like pretzels or cookies, so I always recommend checking labels and contacting the manufacturer so you can verify cross-contact risks.

    I like to use Jif Natural Creamy Peanut butter which is also verified gluten-free on their website. While I use the creamy version, you can definitely use chunky peanut butter if you want to have more crunchy gluten-free peanut butter cookies.

    How to store peanut butter cookies

    You will want to store them in an airtight container.

    However, they taste the best fresh and warm from the oven. So, you can make the dough ahead of time and store it in an air-tight container in your fridge for a couple of days. I enjoy baking a dozen each day so we can all enjoy them warm from the oven each day!

    How to make Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies

    Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Step 2: In a medium bowl, beat together all ingredients until well combined.

    Step 3: Roll dough out flat and then use a small Christmas tree cookie cutter and cut out the trees.

    Step 4: Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. These do not expand much so you can place them pretty close together.

    Step 5: Bake for 8 minutes and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to racks with a cookie spatula.
