these classic-tasting peanut butter cookies are super soft and chewy, and best of all, they’re grain free and refined-sugar free.
When it’s in the recipe name, you know it’s real. Yes. These grain free peanut butter cookies are soft af and chewy af. They taste like a classic peanut butter cookie, the ones with the fork indentations that your mom would make growing up– assuming everyone’s mom made those fork-indentation-peanut-butter-cookies– but fear not, because even if the assumption is wrong, YOU can make those fork-indentation-super-soft-peanut-butter-cookies for YOURSELF!
And it’s super easy. I recommend using crunchy peanut butter for an extra bit of peanut butter-y crunch, but feel free to use your preferred PB/PB brand. I buy organic, 100% natural peanut butter, but I am not married to any particular brand (read: I buy what’s on sale).
Enough of my peanut butter purchasing habits, and back to these amazing, pliable PB cookies!
These cookies call for a mix of both almond flour and coconut flour, alongside peanut butter of course, to help create this most perfect cookie texture and the appropriate level of cookie softness. I typically lean towards using almond flour for cookies just because the texture and consistency is usually more cookie-style.
These cookies are super quick to make, it’s another one of those recipes that I kept to minimal clean-up too, because you can easily mix everything in one bowl. If only all recipes were this simple and this delicious, really…
