Everybody should have a one-bowl irresistible cookie recipe like this on hand because you never know when you will need a batch of cookies at a moment’s notice.
Some different options you can try when making these cookies are:
- Peanut butter can be replaced with any nut butter.
- Use aquafaba as my egg replacer. Aquafaba is the liquid from canned garbanzo beans. Ener-G Egg Replacer is another good option I have often used in baking.
- Try a dairy-free version by replacing the butter with a plant-based substitute like Earth Balance.
**When you replace the eggs in this recipe, you will have a firm cookie instead of a super-soft cookie, but don’t let that stop you—they are still definitely worth making.
Here are some different sugar options to try:
- Beet sugar
- Coconut sugar
- Raw granulated sugar
- Sugar-free options like Monk Fruit Sweetener
- Brown sugar enhances the flavor of peanut butter cookies and would be amazing
Simple cookies like these are perfect for any holiday or celebration. Add sprinkles to match the holiday or celebration, and you’re ready to go!
To Make GF Peanut Butter Cookies You Will Need These Ingredients:
