Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are some of the softest, chewiest, and most delicious chocolate chip cookies I have ever taken a bite out of. Plus, they can be gluten-free if you choose gluten-free oats. If you want a traditional cookie, give my Chocolate Chip Cookie or Classic Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Cookie a try!
Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
This easy-to-make Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is a melt-in-your-mouth cookie that has all the chewy texture and peanut butter taste you would expect from a cookie.
Do I Have To Chill The Dough Before Baking Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies?
There is one very important step when making these cookies. The chilling. And if you don’t chill the dough it will change its texture and consistency. I found out that folks often skip the chilling, and it can dramatically change the final result I highly recommend that you do NOT SKIP CHILLING. Plus, it gives you some time to chill yourself! 😉
Can I Freeze These Cookies?
Yes! In fact, you can freeze the baked cookies or cookie dough.
To Freeze Cookie Dough: To freeze the cookie dough, put the portioned balls of dough on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Freeze those for about an hour before transferring them to an airtight container. To bake, simply add more bake time for the frozen dough.
To Freeze Cookies After Baking: If your cookies have already been baked, make sure you let the cookies cool completely before freezing. Individually wrap each cookie in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container. These will last 1-3 months! I actually like a slightly frozen chocolate chip cookie!

Thank you for making my recipe! You took pictures, right? Well go ahead and post them on Instagram! Be sure to mention me @iambaker and use the hashtag #YouAreBaker.
Fantastic recipe! I’ve made these several times and love to undercook them and then freeze them. Have added walnuts, flaked coconut, etc. I absolutely LOVE these!!
Can I use powdered peanut butter? If so, what is the equivalent?
I have never used that so can’t speak to it’s effectiveness.
I would like to veganize these, because they look yummy… What do you suggest as the best egg substitute for baking?
Can you use the silver palate thick and rough oatmeal? Or quick oats??? Thank for your quick reply
Hi! I work with iambaker and am happy to help with questions.
Hi, Robert! You can substitute quick oats in this recipe, but the texture will be a little different (not as chewy of a cookie). But, it shouldn’t affect the taste. The same goes for the thick and rough oatmeal–you can use it but will result in a different texture. Have a great day!
Can you use quick cooking oats?
Yes, you can.
I made this for 2 ladies I work with who can’t have gluten. They loved them. I like how easy they are to make and I could accommodate their needs without buying special ingredients.
Can I use quick oats ?
Ps – I think you’re amazing! love your recipes and that you post the hideous responses you get from mean people – don’t let the trolls get you down
Hi, Stacia! I work with iambaker and am happy to help with questions. Yes, you can use quick oats, and I will pass on the compliment! Have a wonderful day!
