Ingredients
- 1 cup (256 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, plus more for rolling

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

- 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.
- 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.
- 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. Use a small biscuit or cookie butter to reshape any cookies back into a circular shape.
- 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!
