I made these cookies up to share with a friend this week. I started mixing and realized that I had added dairy and that they needed to be dairy free. Whoops! So I made two batches. One with diary and one without. So my mistake means you get two recipes out of this one. 😊

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe:

Whisk the following in a small to medium mixing bowl:

1/3 cup peanut butter (or almond butter or other nut butter)

1 egg (or 2 egg yolks)

1/3 cup oil

1/2 cup honey

1/2 tsp salt

Then add…

1/2 cup water (or mill alternative)

1 tsp vanilla

Whisk until combined.

Switch to a rubber spatula and add…

1/3-2/3 cups arrowroot powder (or tapioca starch)

1/3 cup white rice flour (or brown rice flour)

1/3 cup chickpea flour

1 tsp baking powder

Stir to combine. Add more flour or water as needed to reach a thick cookie batter consistency.

Add chocolate chips of your choice. And stir to combine.

If you need a dairy-free chocolate chip, I recommend the Enjoy Life brand.

Spoon onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Makes 12-18 cookies.

Now, here’s the version with dairy.

Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Recipe:

Whisk the following in a medium mixing bowl:

2/3 cups peanut butter

2/3 cups heavy cream

2/3 cups honey

1/2 tsp salt

1.5 tsp vanilla

Then add…

2/3 cups arrowroot powder (or tapioca starch)

2/3 cups white rice flour (or brown rice flour)

2/3 – 1 cup chickpea flour

2 tsp baking powder

Stir to combine. Add more flour or water as needed to reach a thick cookie batter consistency.

Add chocolate chips of your choice. And stir to combine.

If you need a dairy-free chocolate chip, I recommend the Enjoy Life brand.

Spoon onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Makes approximately 24-30 cookies.

Cookie Comparison:

While both these cookies are good the ones made with the olive oil baked darker.

The cookies made with the heavy cream were softer and lighter.
