Tips for Making Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies:

These cookies come out of the oven nice and soft but as they cool they harden up. Although they are a great hard, crunchy cookie, we find it’s best to dip them in a glass of milk.

That softens the cookie and really enhances the flavor too.

This particular batter does not need to be chilled either and is best made on ungreased cookie sheets or silicone baking mats.

It’s also important to use a wire rack to fully cool the cookies.

How do you make these cookies gluten-free?

Just a few swaps are needed for Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies.

The first thing you will need to do is use gluten-free all-purpose flour. I use Better Batter; however, you can use any 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour that you prefer.

Along with swapping the flour, it’s also important to use gluten-free oats. These would be certified gluten-free oats such as Bob’s Red Mill Rolled Oats.

These are the only swaps needed to make these Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies; however, as always be sure to check all ingredient labels first.

If you are craving a tasty cookie with simple ingredients Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies are just for you, even better when you can easily make them gluten-free too!
