During the holidays, it's pretty hard as an SCDer to stick to the plan. To help with my propensity to cheat and go off the diet, I played around with an existing PB Cookie recipe and substituted SCD friendly ingredients making gluten free peanut butter cookies. If you've never baked with almond flour before, I'll warn you that the consistency of the batter/dough doesn't always look correct, but ends up baking up just great!! Make sure you buy peanut butter that has no sugar added (ingredients should read ONLY peanuts and salt). I love Trader Joe's organic.

I just finished making these, but I used Trader Joe’s Almond Meal because that is what I originally bought. My cookies spread out on the pan instead of staying in a heap like yours. Using the Trader Joe’s is the only thing i could think would be the problem. Do you have a suggestion as how to fix it?
FYI: I could eat this cookie batter by the spoonful it is so good!
Sandra Brigham
Your recipe calls for almond flour though!

That is an odd response to Tatiana’s question….that the recipe is nut free when it calls for peaNUT butter and ALMOND flour…both nuts. Help?

So sorry, I thought this question was in regards to a new ‘peanut’ butter cookie recipe that is on my site where I use sunbutter to make it nut free.

You can chill the dough balls on the cookie sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to prevent them from spreading as much. At least that’s what I do with cookie cutter sugar cookies.

I made this recipe yesterday. I used almond flour as the recipe instructed. I had the same problem with the cookies spreading out too much. I had flat cookies that tasted great. I tried freezing the dough prior to baking and it made no difference in how they turned out. Any suggestions?

These do spread quite a bit. You could add a little extra flour if you don’t like them flat

Love your recipes and am wondering if you have ever thought about making a gluten free/low carb peanut butter and jam bar? I would love to find a good recipe for those! I have tried to come up with some on my own, but my ability to accurately substitute ingredients hasn’t worked very well!
Against All Grain
I actually haven’t but I’ll keep it in mind!

Any suggestions on what to substitute the honey with to lower the carb count? Honey is almost 300 carbs per cup.

Whats a alternative to honey?

This has been my family’s favorite cookie recipe since starting our SCD diet journey. Thank you!!

I am avoiding peanuts and eggs right now. I was wondering if I could substitute cashew butter for the peanut butter, and a flax or chia egg for the eggs?
