Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blossoms

Are you looking for a cookie that you can enjoy all year-round? You’re in luck! Look no further than this Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blossoms recipe.

My kids and I love to bake together! We love to make several gluten free cookie recipes! We started with some Double Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies last week, then gluten free brown sugar cookies, to gluten free oatmeal chocolate chip bars and then moved on to these little gems. And by gems, you know I mean these perfect little Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blossoms.

Peanut Butter Blossoms are loved by many, many people. There’s just something about this gluten free dessert that’s so addictingly good. Maybe it’s the peanut butter, maybe it’s the chocolate. Maybe it’s the chocolate peanut butter combination that everyone craves.

Whatever it is, it’s just downright delicious. It’s the perfect bite in one compact little cookie. Cookie perfection.

In all the years that Adam and I have been together, I never really made peanut butter blossoms for him. Maybe once? His mom makes a million (literally, a million) of them every year for him and he gets a HUGE bag of them.

And by huge, I mean one of those Ziploc bags that are the size of pillow.I wish I was kidding.

How to make this delicious Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blossoms Recipe:

Step 1. Using a stand mixer bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter and brown sugar. Add in eggs one at a time and combine them.

Step 2. Get a large bowl, and combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking soda and salt. Mix these ingredients into the butter mixture until combined.

Step 3. Be sure to cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. You can refrigerate up to 48 hours if you’d like.

Step 4. Pre-heat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet. I recommend using either parchment paper or silicon baking mat.

Step 5. Scoop 1 ½ tablespoons of the dough onto the baking sheets. Then bake for 8-10 minutes.

Step 6. Put a chocolate kiss on each cookie right after removing cookies from the oven.

Step 7. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before you move them to a cooling rack.

TIP: Roll these in granulated sugar before baking! Also, use smooth peanut butter for the best texture in my opinion. Crunch peanut butter would work too, but it’s just a preference thing!

Watch the video in the recipe card to see how easy it is to make these cookies! You can also watch the video on Facebook where you can easily share it!

They’d last months. Now that Adam isn’t eating gluten, I’ve decided it was time to start making him some gluten free peanut butter blossom cookies. (a really easy gluten-free flour cookie)

The gluten-free version was an absolute hit. Adam claims they’re better than any peanut butter blossom he’s ever had (aww) and I have to agree. He even thinks they are better than peanut butter cups (Reese’s) and some of his other favorite milk chocolate candies! I guess peanut butter and chocolate cookies are a hit!

The cookie is so, so soft and tender and has such an amazing peanut butter taste. I think it has to do with the delicious creamy peanut butter that I use (Teddy’s). They’re really good. You can have them slightly warm or let them cool completely.

Nobody would be able to tell they were gluten-free unless you told them. They probably won’t believe you either.

These gluten free peanut butter blossoms were supposed to be given out for gifts this year but I doubt we’ll be giving many away. Adam has already eaten his fair share. Hopefully he’ll save a few for others o enjoy. Oh and if you’re looking for a cookie without the chocolate, try my gluten free peanut butter cookies. Enjoy!
