Notes
Top tips
Can you bake these gluten free peanut butter cookies in the oven?
Yes! If you want to make a bigger batch, I recommend baking them in the oven instead. Simply double the recipe and bake the cookies in a 350F oven for 11 minutes. Allow to cool at least 5 minutes (10 minutes is preferred) before moving the cookies around as they are very fragile in the beginning.
Storing leftovers
- Fridge: These cookies will continue to dry out if left out on the counter for too long. Store cookies in an airtight container for 5 days.
- Freezer: Transfer leftover cookies to a freezer safe bag and enjoy for up to 3 months. These cookies are higher in fat so are great right out of the freezer, no defrosting needed.
