4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

4 ingredient peanut butter cookies are rich, soft and chewy peanut butter cookies made with only four ngredients. They're easy to make,  gluten free and filled with peanut butter flavor. 

Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 1:  

In a large mixing bowl fitted with paddle attachment, cream the peanut butter and sugar together on medium speed for 2 - 3 minutes or until light and fluffy.

Step 2:  

On low, mix in the egg and vanilla until combined and the mixture begins to clump together.

Step 3:  

Pour some sugar in a shallow bowl. Using a 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cookie scoop, scoop the creamy flourless peanut butter dough into cookie balls. Roll each cookie ball in the sugar until fully coated.

Step 4:  

Place the sugar coated peanut butter cookie balls 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet. Using a fork, press the classic cross-hatch pattern on top of each cookie.

Step 5:  

Bake the gluten free peanut butter cookies for 9 - 11 minutes. The edges will be set and lightly golden brown. Remove the baking sheet from the oven onto a cooling rack or stove top.

Step 6:  

Cool on the hot baking sheet for 5 - 10 minutes. Then transfer the cookies off the hot baking sheet and onto the cooling rack to cool to room temperature and enjoy!
