Easy And Yummy Cookies

[Guest mares83]

Hi guys! I am new to this gluten free diet and discovered a great recipe yesterday in our local paper for gluten free peanut butter cookies. Here it is:

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup white sugar

1 egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix ingredients and drop by teaspoonfuls on the cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes and let cool. This recipe should make 1 dozen cookies.

Very easy and very good--I have a huge sweet tooth , so I also put some Duncan Hines Milk Chocolate Icing on them after they cooled.

I've had those PB cookies....they are good......icing is a great idea

Fyi, for those of you also concerned with your weight, this is a very popular recipe using Splenda (the bulk kind) rather than sugar. I don't know how the regular ones turn out, but the splenda version are a bit crumbly. Many people stick them in the freezer and eat them straight from there. (They're addicting, btw.)

That's the funny thing about most of the gluten-free recipes I've seen for snack-type foods... Oodles of sugar and/or oodles of butter. Blech! (I'm not a huge splenda fan either - I can taste the difference between it and regular sugar (as determined by a blind taste test with a friend who didn't believe me).) Ha! Maybe that's the niche I need for putting out a gluten-free cookbook! ;-)

I have tried the pb recipe using 1/2 cup splenda 1/2 cup reg sugar because my brother is diabetic and they turned out real good also my recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of soda
