Easy Loaded Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe ~ Gluten Free
This Easy Loaded Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe is not only gluten free and grain free, it makes the most amazing, crowd pleaser cookies ever! Plus, this recipe can be made with coconut sugar for a cane sugar free, low glycemic, diabetic friendly option!
I should warn you, though…these cookies might not last very long. At least they didn’t in our house (guilty face)!
Peanut Butter Cookie Ingredients
I highly recommend using organic or higher quality ingredients for this peanut butter cookie recipe, not just for your health, but because there really is a huge difference in taste! This is especially true with the sugar – an organic sugar that is less refined adds so much flavor to the finished product. Organic cane sugar is the best in this recipe as far as taste goes, but I do prefer to make it with coconut sugar since our family normally avoids cane sugar.
I buy my organic ingredients in bulk from Azure standard, a natural foods co-op that delivers to most of the US. Grocery prices are high where I live, so by using Azure, I frequently save anywhere from 25-65% on organic bulk foods! If Azure sounds like it might be helpful for your grocery budget, you can read more about it here:
