Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Cookies [Gluten-Free]
These irresistibly chewy gluten-free peanut butter oatmeal cookies are loaded with melty chocolate chips and toasted nuts - ready in under 30 minutes with no chilling required! Makes about 36 cookies.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 1 ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 3 cups rolled oats, we use Trader Joe’s Rolled Oats, whole grain and gluten free
- 6 oz chocolate chips
- ½ cup toasted walnuts, finely chopped
Equipment
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter and beat until creamy, using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
- Add in the eggs, vanilla, and baking soda and continue to mix well.
- Add in the peanut butter and mix well.
- Next, stir in the oats, chocolate chips, and the chopped walnuts and mix well. TIP: toast the walnuts before chopping and adding to the cookie dough. They tasted better! You can toast in the microwave on a paper towel for 1-2 minutes.
- Place each heaping tablespoon of dough about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly brown around the edges. Enjoy!
Notes
Sandy's TIPS:
- Storage: Keep leftover gluten-free peanut butter oatmeal cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days to maintain freshness.
- Freeze: For longer storage, freeze the cooled cookies in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe bag or container - they’ll last for up to 3 months.
- Make ahead: Roll the cookie dough into tablespoon-sized balls and flash-freeze the cookie balls on a tray until hardened and no longer sticky. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag to freeze for 3 months. Thaw frozen cookie dough balls in the fridge and bake. Learn more about How to Bake Frozen Cookies here.
- Chilling the dough: This recipe doesn’t require you to chill the dough, but you can if you want to help solidify the butter and prevent the cookies from spreading too much. This is usually good to do if you live in a hot and humid climate.
