FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes, these peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are naturally gluten-free. They do use quick-cooking oatmeal to cut the sweetness and help with the structure. To make sure the oats don’t contain any cross-contamination from processing, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
If you cannot tolerate oats, or would like flourless chocolate chip cookies without oats, simply omit them. Using dairy-free chocolate chips, such as Enjoy Life, will make these flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies dairy free as well!
It’s perfectly normal for the cookie dough to appear greasy before baking. This is from the natural oils in the peanut butter. As the cookies bake the oils are absorbed in the oatmeal and they come out of the oven perfectly.
Yes. You may substitute creamy almond butter as well. Make sure the almond butter is thoroughly mixed with oil before measuring and adding.
Store in airtight container at room temperature. For optimal freshness, I recommend wrapping 2-3 stacked cookies in plastic wrap and storing in a container up to 1 week.
These cookies also freeze very well. After wrapping the cookies in plastic wrap, transfer to a ziplock freezer bag. Freeze up to 3 months, thawing at room temperature.
