I'm in need of a peanut butter cookie recipe

Any good ones?  I've tried a couple and as with most cookies I've made, they've failed.  I can't  use xanthan gum which doesn't help things.  I need a cookie that holds itself together and doesn't spread out flat.  I've even tried the trick of baking them frozen but still no luck.

Try the ones my Home Ex teacher in the 7th grade (1970s) taught us.  This is so simple that I still recall this recipe!  

1 cup peanut butter, natural

1cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla (could be optional)

Bake 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.  Roll into 1 inch balls and flatten with a fork making a criss cross pattern.  I leave them as balls.  Easier to pop into your mouth.  You can add chocolate chips too.  Want to make them bigger?  Add more baking time.

I make these and use half brown sugar and half white.  And I use any old Pb.

You got me!   My Home Ec teacher did not care about which type of peanut butter, but I like to use Costco’s natural peanut butter.  I am a peanut butter snob!  ?

You just need the kind with added oil , salt and sugar- not the kind that comes when you just grind peanuts only.

Thank you, sure looks easy enough.  I'm curious as to why using a peanut butter with oil, salt and sugar.  I always buy without oil and sugar.  Is there a noticeable difference?

Try it and see.  Then report back

Wait a minute.  I use peanut butter that lists only peanuts and sea salt.  The oil naturally separates when the peanuts are ground and the end product is stored.  It must be stirred well after opening and it  requires refrigeration once opened (no preservatives).   It makes for fine cookies.  

 The disadvantages of a natural peanut butter is that it requires refrigeration after opening and it is a pain to stir when you first open it up.

I've tried this one and it works great :) 

https://whipandwander.com/almond-peanut-butter-cookies/

---

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter (may sub almond or sun butter)
  • 5 tbsp coconut oil, softened
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt, plus more to top if desired
  • 2 cups almond flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 F (176 C)

  1. Cream raw honey, peanut butter, and coconut oil together in a mixing bowl. Then add vanilla, baking soda, and salt and mix.
  2. Add almond flour and mix until a thick dough forms.
  3. Portion dough into 1 tbsp spoonfuls and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone baking liner.
  4. Press down on each ball of dough with a fork crosswise, to form the traditional peanut butter cookie indentations.
  5. Sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of fine sea salt if desired.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes. Cookies should be golden brown around the edges.
  7. The cookies will be fragile when warm, so I like to let them cool slightly for approx 10 minutes before transferring them to a cookie jar.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
