Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Blend on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mix until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, folding until just combined.
  5. Portion out 24 dough balls on the lined baking sheet and press each down with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
  6. Bake for 11-13 minutes until edges are set and centers are soft. Allow to cool before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
