Looking for a soft and chewy peanut butter cookie? I have the perfect cookie recipe for you, my Gluten-free Peanut Butter White Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe! The secret ingredient is the vanilla pudding mix. These cookies use an easy homemade pudding mix; 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Another option, you can use a store bought 3.4 ounce box I if you do have cornstarch or don’t want to make it.
The pudding mix makes cookies wonderfully soft and chewy. Also these cookies hold their shape better and make much prettier cookies, in my opinion.
For this cookie I used white chocolate chips and it goes great with the peanut butter. I like a subtle peanut butter flavor so if you like more pb flavor add a little more pb to your cookie mix.
- 1 package of vanilla pudding mix or homemade vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup peanut butter

This is a very easy recipe to make Gluten Free Cookies. These cookies look so pretty and I know that my son and daughter would love for me to make these! thanks for sharing the awesome recipe!

I have had a real cookie craving lately and these are looking real good! 😉
wow I never made cookies like this with a pudding mix – they look and sound sooo good! I’d like to try this!
These sound absolutely delicious! I would have to find an egg substitute though, maybe just a little bit of banana would do it, but that could be a strange flavor with the peanut butter…
Thank you for the recipe. The holidays are coming up. So we will be making cookies
I am new to this whole GF world but also with Dairy and Nuts. My daughter is allergic to wheat and dairy and nuts and a lot of other things that are consumed. Anyways, she loves peanut butter cookies and I am excited to try this recipe with her. (Being 14 and picked on because you cannot join in on celebrations at social events has been extremely hard.) Just hoping that with a slight switch to a sunflower seed butter is going to still taste good.
Thank you, for your recipes. It has been a fantastic help in converting our house into an allergy free environment. While still learning this new lifestyle, I am excited to have found your blog. Thank you!
