Our Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Learn how to bake gluten-free cookies

Over the years I've studied food trends and although some trends come and go the gluten-free movement shows no signs of slowing. Moreover, early 3.1 million Americans maintain a strict, gluten-free diet.*

At Chic Sweets Fine Desserts, we constantly update our menu to meet the demand and offer pastries to those who practice an allergen-friendly diet.

In fact, at any given time of the year our gluten-free brownies are the most popular items on the menu. Our clients can hardly believe that the brownies are gluten-free!

In this newsletter installation, I'm sharing our gluten-free peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie recipe. These are the same cookies sold at the Nordstrom Department Store Ebar in The Woodlands, Texas in years past. 

Now I am sharing with you my recipes and baking tips too! I hope that you enjoy my quick and easy baking lesson but most importantly, I hope to encourage you to introduce more gluten-free products in your diet! 


Gluten-free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies


Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cup gluten-free quick oats

2 1/2 cup gluten-free old-fashioned oats

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks

1 cup white chocolate chips


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Blend butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar together.  Add peanut butter, eggs, baking soda and vanilla.  Add Oats and blend together very well.  Add all chocolate chips.  Using an ice cream scoop form 18 cookies and press onto a cookie sheet to form a large cookie.  Cookies will spread more as they bake.  Bake for 18-22 minutes.  Allow to cool before serving.

Pu mpkin spice season has officially arrived, and at Chic Sweets Bakery in Northwest Houston, we’re celebrating with one of our most beloved treats—Pumpkin Spice Bars. These bars are soft, flavorful, and topped with sweet cream cheese frosting, making them the perfect way to welcome autumn. Whether you’re cozying up at home or sharing with friends, Pumpkin Spice Bars bring comfort and joy with every bite. The popularity of pumpkin spice has grown tremendously over the years, but our recipe holds true to the homemade flavors Houston families love. With just the right balance of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, each bar tastes like a slice of pumpkin pie in handheld form. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the season without waiting for Thanksgiving dinner. At Chic Sweets Bakery, we bake Pumpkin Spice Bars fresh for our 1960/Champions neighbors every fall. They’ve become a tradition for many of our customers, who stop by year after year as soon as they return to the menu. We’re proud to keep that tradition alive, honoring both the flavor of the season and the community that supports us. Pumpkin Spice Bars are also versatile—they make wonderful additions to office gatherings, school events, and weekend brunch tables. If you’re hosting guests, bringing a tray of these bars guarantees you’ll leave with an empty dish and plenty of compliments. They’re easy to serve, easy to share, and impossible to resist. Our bakery loves being part of Houston’s fall celebrations, from football season get-togethers to church functions and neighborhood block parties. Pumpkin Spice Bars are one of those desserts that make everyone smile, no matter the occasion. They capture the warmth of fall in each delicious square. If you’re craving the flavor of autumn, stop by Chic Sweets Bakery in the 1960/Champions area today.
