Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies

This post may contain affiliate links. Read our Privacy Policy.

There’s something about peanut butter cookies that just feels like home. They’re soft, chewy, and perfectly sweet with that nutty flavor that makes them so addictive. I love baking a batch when I’m craving something sweet but still want to keep things on the lighter side.

These Almond Flour Peanut Butter Cookies are a healthier spin on the classic but made with just three simple ingredients, naturally gluten-free, and full of flavor. They come together quickly (no mixer needed!), and the dough doesn’t even need to be chilled overnight. Honestly, they’re the kind of cookie you can whip up last-minute when a craving hits or when friends stop by.

FAQs

What kind of peanut butter should I use?

It’s best to go with natural peanut butter- the kind that has just peanuts (and maybe a pinch of salt) on the ingredient list. If it is thick or separated, give it a good stir before using.

How should I store these cookies?

Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Do they freeze well?

Definitely. Freeze them in a single layer first, then transfer to a container or freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Let them thaw at room temperature or warm them slightly before enjoying.
