The best peanut butter cookies that I promise the whole family will love!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You\u2019ll Love These<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Quick and simple<\/strong> \u2013 you only need 5 pantry ingredients and one bowl to make these easy peanut butter cookies. Ready in under 20 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Made healthier<\/strong> \u2013 no flour, butter or oil used in these cookies and they are naturally sweetened with cane sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soft and chewy<\/strong> \u2013 these soft peanut butter cookies have the best texture and rich peanut butter flavor in every bite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Naturally gluten-free<\/strong> \u2013 these cookies have no flour in them making them a great option for those with gluten sensitivities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1691\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The BEST 5-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies recipe made with simple pantry ingredients and zero flour, butter or oil!  Soft, chewy cookies with rich peanut butter flavor are the perfect gluten-free sweet treat.\" class=\"wp-image-30378 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/bankofmckenney.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/peanut-butter-cookies-1.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients You\u2019ll Need<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>peanut butter<\/strong> \u2013 I used creamy <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/GTGCS\">natural peanut butter<\/a> without any added sugar. Just make sure you give it a good stir before using. You could use regular creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy, chunky peanut butter, almond butter or other nut butter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>egg<\/strong> \u2013 you\u2019ll need 1 large egg for this recipe to hold all the ingredients together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>baking soda <\/strong>\u2013 acts as a leavening agent and gives these cookies that chewy texture. Baking powder would work too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>cane sugar<\/strong> \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/cWLRt\">cane sugar<\/a> naturally sweetens these cookies without using any refined sugar. You could also use <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/CCZOt\">coconut sugar<\/a>, brown sugar or any type of granulated sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>vanilla<\/strong> \u2013 you\u2019ll need one teaspoon vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of these cookies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"block-tip cwp-inner has-background has-quaternary-background-color\">\n<p>You could also easily simplify this recipe even more by make 3-ingredient peanut butter cookies! All you need is peanut butter, egg and sugar, but the baking soda really gives them their chewy texture while the vanilla gives an extra boost of flavor!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mix ingredients.<\/strong> In a large bowl, combine one cup of peanut butter, egg, baking soda, cane sugar and vanilla. Using a <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/IHeCv\">hand mixer<\/a> on medium speed or your <a href=\"http:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/S6AZy\">stand mixer<\/a> with the paddle attachment, mix all the ingredients really well until all combined. The peanut butter mixture will be thick and sticky.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shape cookies.<\/strong> Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the dough mixture (I like to use this <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/scop\">small cookie scoop<\/a>) and roll into a balls. Please them on prepared <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/ESPaO\">baking sheets<\/a> lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie. Use a fork to gently press a crisscross pattern into each ball, slightly flattening them. I also like to smooth up the edges with my finger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake.<\/strong> Place in the oven and bake cookies for 10 to 13 mins, or until edges are golden brown and centers are soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool and enjoy.<\/strong> Let them cool on the <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/ESPaO\">cookie sheet<\/a> for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1619\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The BEST 5-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies recipe made with simple pantry ingredients and zero flour, butter or oil!  Soft, chewy cookies with rich peanut butter flavor are the perfect gluten-free sweet treat.\" class=\"wp-image-30379 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/bankofmckenney.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/peanut-butter-cookies-3.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips and Substitutions<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Peanut butter<\/strong> \u2013 both <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/GTGCS\">creamy peanut butter<\/a> and crunchy peanut butter work well, but natural peanut butter may make the dough slightly looser, so make sure to stir it well for best results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sweetener<\/strong> \u2013 I only recommend using granulated sugar in these cookies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/cWLRt\">cane sugar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/CCZOt\">coconut sugar<\/a>, white sugar or even brown sugar. Using honey or maple syrup will change the texture in these cookies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegan<\/strong> \u2013 you can easily make these cookies vegan by replacing the egg for a flax egg which is 1 tablespoon <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/1b3Ek\">ground flaxseed<\/a> + 3 tablespoons water, mixed in a small bowl and set for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Criss-cross pattern<\/strong> \u2013 the classic fork crisscross pattern helps flatten the cookies slightly for even baking. Since these cookies don\u2019t contain flour, they don\u2019t spread as much on their own, so the fork marks are key for the right texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t over bake <\/strong>\u2013 we want a chewy peanut butter cookie that is slightly soft in the center with edges that are set, so don\u2019t overcook them. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customize them<\/strong> \u2013 feel free to mix in fun extras like <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/G7fqZ\">chocolate chips<\/a> (similar to peanut butter blossoms), peanut butter chips, chopped peanuts or other nuts, top with <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/QFHRo\">flaky sea salt<\/a> or even a drizzle of melted chocolate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepping and Storage<\/h2>\n<p><strong>To Store:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0These homemade peanut butter cookies will last at room temperature stored in a sealed, airtight container or plastic wrap on the counter for up to\u00a0<strong>5 days<\/strong>.\u00a0 You can also store these in the refrigerator for a firmer texture and to keep them longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To Freeze:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0For longer storage, these cookies can be stored in the freezer for up to <strong>3 months<\/strong>. When ready to enjoy, transfer the frozen cookies to the fridge to thaw overnight or let them thaw completely on the countertop at room temperature.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><strong>Freeze cookie dough: <\/strong> I like to make the peanut butter cookie dough, roll them into balls and freeze on a baking sheet. Then simply transfer the frozen cookie dough balls into a freezer bag and when you\u2019re ready to bake them, let them thaw slightly, and bake as directed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1546\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The BEST 5-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies recipe made with simple pantry ingredients and zero flour, butter or oil!
