Calling all peanut butter lovers. Get your face out of that peanut butter jar and make these insanely delicious gluten free salted peanut butter cookies instead. If you love a sweet salty combo you will go NUTS over these crispy chewy cookies. Honestly, your love affair with peanut butter will reach sticky new heights.

When developing this recipe I tried all the whiz bang 3 ingredient peanut butter cookie recipes you see all over the Internet. Great in theory but let’s be honest, they don’t taste very nice. I’m all about great taste and texture and these cookies are the real deal and super simple to prepare. Your greatest challenge will be refraining from the peanut butter jar!

For a little extra indulgence you can dip your cookies in melted chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt flakes because sea salt just makes everything look prettier. Once these bad boys are covered in chocolate they taste just like a crunchy Snickers…..which really satisfies!

    This is my very favorite gluten-free cookie recipe! Even gluten-full eaters have raved about them. They have that perfect sweet-salty balance, with a glorious caramel-y note. Thank you for what is now a regular in my baking rotation!
