The World's Easiest Gluten-Free Cookie Recipe
By Simone Smith
Everyone's Favorite Gluten-Free Cookie Recipe
Some recipes are universal. Take pound cake, for example. The recipe is simple, timeless, and delicious.
I've noticed that, with the rise of gluten-free foods and recipes, one recipe in particular has become universally beloved and used. It shows up all over the place online, and though there are a couple of variations here and there, it is almost always the same.
Allow me, then, to introduce (for perhaps the ten thousandth time online) perhaps the most popular (and easy) gluten free cookie recipe out there: that for the three-ingredient gluten-free peanut butter cookie.
Ingredients
- 180 grams of peanut butter (1 cup)
- 190 grams of sugar (1 cup)
- 1 egg
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius)
- Beat the egg
- Add the peanut butter (I prefer crunchy and the type you have to mix. You might want to take it out of the fridge ahead of time so it isn't so stiff)
- Add the sugar
- Mix the ingredients together
- Place tablespoon-sized bals of the batter on a greased / silicone-pad-clad / parchment paper lined cookie sheet
- Add the crisscrossed fork marks (MANDATORY! Otherwise they're not proper peanut butter cookies, are they?)
- Bake for 8-10 minutes (they'll look gooey; just don't let them burn)
- EAT!
Have at it!
Clearly, this recipe is so popular because it's easy and simple, but the peanut butter cookies taste pretty good too (though how can one go wrong with peanut butter and sugar??).
The cookies are chewy and sweet. And they're ready in a flash. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

You are keeping amazing us Simone with your ideas, thanks for sharing this simple and useful recipe, voted up
This would be great for my brother as he is gluten intolerant. This is a very useful hub.
One of my favorite recipes! Except...I add chocolate chips :P
Thanks for sharing, Simone. YAY to this recipe. BOO to gluten. =D
Thanks for reading, y'all! And I love the idea of adding chocolate chips, msviolets! Heck, I'm all for adding chocolate chips to nearly anything!!
So simple and delicious--sounds like my kind of recipe. To top it off, I love peanut butter.
I have heard of these before but have not tried them myself. This may inspire me! A good recipe will be enjoyed by all, not just those who are eating gluten-free.
I think you'll love these, anglnwu!
And yeah, this recipe is EVERYWHERE, randomcreative! It's definitely time to give them a try! I am by no means trying to avoid gluten, but I still make them for myself sometimes even when none of my gluten-avoiding buddies are stopping by!
Thanks for your cheerful instructive video. This recipe sounds like a must do and I'll go for the crunchy PB also.
Do you know if these would freeze well?
Yeah, these should freeze just fine, but I'll try freezing some with my next batch to make sure I'm not missing something :D
awesomely easy - thanks - a vote up!
Simone, one of my friends is on a gluten-free diet. I'll share this with her. Thanks!
