The Best Damn Grain Free Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwiches are made gluten-free, come together in less than 30 minutes, and are made with no refined sugar!
Yep, you heard it here first. These are the best damn grain free peanut butter cookie sandwiches ever. I know you think I'm crazy for making that bold statement, but its true. And I've got a crew of people here in Philadelphia who were lucky enough to sample them and I'm positive they would all agree.
My friends went absolutely wild over these and for good reason, they literally melt in your mouth. I had texts like "you should name these cookies 'heaven'" "OMG THE COOKIES ARE SOO GOOD" "Holy moly. These are insane, Erin!"
And some of you might say, well your friends would say that anyway, but I like to think I have a very honest group of friends. So I'm going to keep the bold statement and claim that they are the best cookie sandwiches ever, and if you love peanut butter, be sure to make my Peanut Butter Protein Cookies too!
They are seriously easy to make, are grain and gluten free, are made with natural sweetener. Who knew that eating a cookie sandwich could actually be healthy?
Also, if there are any Philly friends out there, I'm always looking for some taste testers! I would love to share and get some honest feedback 😉

Hi! If I use unrefined coconut oil, does the peanut flavor cover it up or is the coconut flavor still a bit detectable? I have family who HATE the taste of coconut, but I only have unrefined virgin coconut oil.
Erin says
Hi Ruby, the refined coconut oil won't have the coconut taste. I'd use that instead!
Brittney says
Delicious!! I pulled out the ingredients today and only had enough almond flour for 1/2 batch so instead of splitting an egg I used flax. They were a little more crumbly which isn’t great for the sandwich but still really tasty and I’m happy to report that the flax egg works for a vegan option! I forgot how rich & decadent they are and have previously made bite size sandwiches which will be my go to from now on. These need more love. They’re so good.
Erin says
Hi Brittney, so glad you loved them and thanks for sharing! 🙂
Jennifer says
Is there a substitute I can use for the almond flour that would work well with this recipe? I'm allergic to almonds 🙁
Erin says
Hi Jennifer, yes, you can try and use a different flour. Before you bake just be sure to check the ratio because some flours are not a 1:1 ratio. Different flours have different absorption rates. Let me know what flour you use and how it comes out!
Steph says
Big fan of these cookies! Made them for some friends and they devoured them. (Just don’t forget the salt like I did, especially if your peanut butter is unsalted!)
Erin says
Hi Steph, so glad you and your friends loved them!!
Becky says
Do you have the nutrition facts for these? They were amazing!!
Erin says
Hi Becky! Thanks for the kind words and so happy you enjoyed them! I'm working on updating all of my posts to have nutritional information, but for now, you can use an online calculator.

Amy says
Is there an egg substitute you’d use in this recipe? They look so killer! Wanting to try them out
Erin says
You could try a flax egg!! I haven't tried it here.
