So melt-in-your-mouth peanut butter goodness like whhaaaaaat.
There are a couple of things I want to say about this. First off, EASY. Almost stupidly easy. One bowl, no flour, no baking powder. Just throw your ingredients into a mixer or hand-mix and all of a sudden you have a delicious bowl of cookie dough that tastes like the filling of a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. And no, I’m not kidding. Secondly, gluten free. I’m not claiming to know much about baking/eating without gluten, but holy heck, you won’t miss it at all. I know a lot of GF treats sometimes leave a little to be desired, but these are incredibly soft and bursting with peanut butter and chocolate flavor that go perfectly with a glass of milk.
This summer has been the summer of cookies. Which also lends itself to being the summer of buckets of sugar and five tons of butter. Which also also should lend to me spending a good amount of time running or hitting up the gym, but my exercise lately has been reduced to beating together my butter and sugar. Also I’m lying because I have a Kitchenaid. Chewing counts as working out, right?
What was I saying again?
OH YEA. It’s the summer of cookies! From my No-Bake Cookie Dough Energy Bites to my Chunky Cookies and Cream Cookies (<—I die. SO good), it’s been a good season for sweets and these peanut butter bites are no exception. They are little pillows of fluffy goodness and are chock full of melty chocolate chips and crunchy pieces of crushed peanuts. I actually had to make two seperate batches of these before I was able to snap some photos of them since they magically dissapeared overnight. Apart from me being a little irritated at having to have to heat up the house a little with the oven, it meant that I could make some more of the best peanut butter cookie dough ever and enjoy it with a triple shot latte that Kyle brought me. The BEST. Is anyone like that as well? I usually make myself so sick off of stuffing my face with cookie dough that when the final product comes out, I’m left lying on the ground in a (magnificent) sugar coma.
And I’m okay with that.
This recipe is adapted from the lovely people at Cooking Light!
I love cookies! These look so good, bet they are grey with a cold glass of almond milk.
Does it make me a fatty that I want the whole plate of these? 😛
You had me at pillows of fluffy goodness. UGH, love. Also, yeah chewing counts as a workout. Plus, you were being productive doing blog things and that counts too! (in my mind anyway hah)
Hahaha Christine! I’m with you girl…when I cook, I taste the whole time. By the end I have a bite of the final product just to make sure it turned out ok.
Peanut butter cookies are my all time fave and these look AWESOME!!
You just made us peanut-butter-lovers dreams come true!

I’m drooling over these cookies, Christine! They look amazing! I’ve always wanted to try a gluten-free kind, and I think I found the perfect recipe to test out. I love how simple the ingredients are, too. Pinned~
Christine… Shut up. These look too good to handle. And gluten-free… you’re a godsend!! Making these ASAP… you had me at Reese’s PB cup filling. And now I have to go stalk you for the Chunky Cookies & Cream cookies!!!
I haven’t baked in such a long time, but I think I have all of those ingredients in my cabinet now!
Holy cow, these look awesome. I think PB cookies are the best. Love the chopped peanuts thrown in there!
mmmm my kind of cookies right here!! I actually rarely make pb cookies for some reason [probably because I use pb in EVERYTHING else] but not much beats a nice chewy pb cookie!!
This is everything I could want in a cookie! Plus your photography is kind of making my mouth water. :O
Girl, these cookies look & sound amazing!! Yum!! Hard to beat a tasty PB cookie!
I love that these are made for peanut butter. I would probably eat every one of them though if I made them. Where & how do you calculate the nutritional value? I’ve been wanting to give more to my readers.
let’s trade no bake goodies. Yes? Yes.
These are clearly baked so let’s trade this for…. an apple?
I love peanut butter cookies I have to try this recipe!
How do you make your baked goods look so freakin delicious? Licking my screen
Made these. In the process of devouring these. So good! <3
These look amazing! I just ran out of my pb/banana cookies, so I’m thinking that an afternoon baking session will be happening today! xx
I LOVE that these are oil free and that they do not contain any gluten! I cannot think of an easier cookie to make (or eat hehe!). These cookies look great!!! Pinned
You honestly don’t even miss the gluten at all! Thanks so much for pinning, Ceara!
