An easy twist on the traditional peanut butter cookie, this gluten-free version is just as good as the original; no one will even notice the difference! Using Betty Crocker™ All-Purpose Gluten Free Rice Flour Blend, gluten-free vanilla and xanthan gum, it takes just 15 minutes to prep the dough. Packed with brown sugar and creamy peanut butter these cookies bake up soft, chewy and golden brown. Pack in lunches to go or savor as an after-dinner treat.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
  • tip 2
    Rather than a fork to press the dough into the classic criss-cross pattern, use a cookie stamp or potato masher.
  • tip 3
    Xanthan gum is a sugar-based ingredient that is used as a thickener and stabilizer in recipes and can be found online or in grocery stores.
  • tip 4
    Store leftover bars in an airtight container.
