    Peanut Butter Crinkle Cookies | www.infinebalance.com #gluten-free #recipe
    I'm experimenting with gluten-free baking lately. Partly because it's a challenge, which is fun, and partly because it gives me a great excuse to go to the bulk food store for new ingredients. I realize this makes me a total geek.

    These peanut butter crinkle cookies are also grain-free. I used coconut flour in the batter. This is not the first time I've baked with coconut flour (I made this chocolate almond tart once and it was gluten-free too). If you haven't worked with coconut flour before, know that a batter made with coconut flour is just weird. The batter is incredibly sticky, and only gets stickier the longer it sits. A strange state somewhere between molasses and melted marshmallow.  You will need patience and several clean spoons.

    The cookies baked up soft, light and a bit chewy. Not a typical peanut butter cookie. A bit cake-like. I love the crinkle tops.

      Just made this cookies and they are so yummy! Few changes...only used 1/2 cup of sugar and only 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter. Didn't had vanilla (bummer!) so I substituted for cinnamon. Added 1/8 tsp of baking powder. Thanks for sharing!

      I don't want to use brown sugar... Any other options such as honey or pure maple syrup?

        A liquid sweetener will change the batter, you will have to compensate for the additional liquid. Maple sugar (crystallized maple syrup) or coconut sugar would be better options.

        I used coconut sugar and added some butterscotch chips, didn't crinkle and had a shorter baking time but still very delicious and toddler approved 😉
