Peanut Butter Cookies

[SharonF]

1 cup gluten-free peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp gluten-free vanilla

Mix ingredients, roll into a ball. Roll in sugar. If desired, place Hershey's kiss or other gluten-free chocolate in the middle. Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes.

Taste just great, and absolutely no flour!

I knew the recipe except I have always done it without the 1 tsp of vanilla.

Thanks I'll have to try it that way

Yep--good, easy-to-make cookies

I did it without vanilla, too, but I find it adds just the right amount of flavor.

I use that recipe, except add chocolate chips and use brown sugar instead. YUM!!!

anyone ever tried almond butter or cashew butter, etc...?

Seems you can get lots of fun ''nut butters" these days.

My only worry is that the recipe is designed to use creamy 'jif' type peanut butter, not the 'natural' ground stuff that is similar to other nut butters.

I didn't know it Sharon, thanks!

I make it just like that, with the vanilla. But then I add vanilla to almost everything sweet.

I've heard that this is also good with butterscotch chips, but I haven't tried it that way yet.

Yes, those cookies are delicious; I make them with chocolate chips, but unfortunately they are partly to blame for my weight gain, so, no more cookies!

These sound wonderful ~ thanks!!!

This recipe is also a fave in our house, although I've never tried it with chocolate chips (gluten free/casein free, of course.) I always leave out the vanilla. Heck, with vanilla going for $7.00 a pop, I can manage just fine without it, thank you very much!

Pam, the only peanut butter we use in our house is the natural kind...you know, with all the oil on top that slops over the sides of the jar when you stir it together for the first time? It makes excellent peanut butter cookies. Good idea using the other nut butters.

YUM I love those cookies! One of my roomies actually gave me the recipe because she just makes peanut butter cookies like that all the time, she's not celiac or anything. Whenever I make them in my apartment they're gone in NO TIME, what with there being 5 girls here and lots of boyfriends too!

Like someone else said, the best thing ever is to mix in some gluten free chocolate chips, or reeses pieces/cups or just anything else chocolate, because seriously there is no better combo than chocolate and peanut butter! Also, I've found no difference in making them with creamy vs. chunky peanut butter, actually they are just softer if you use creamy but the chunky makes them yumilly crunchy.

Blessings,

Taylor
