Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies
This gluten-free version of a classic does not require a special flour blend; it can be assembled with basic pantry staples. I think of it like the a more rich version of a regular peanut butter cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp extra granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a hand or standing mixer, beat egg slightly. Then add granulated sugar, baking soda and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Beat in the peanut butter. Consistency will be similar to fudge.
- Roll into 1 inch balls, place onto baking sheet. Add extra granulated sugar to plate, then dip fork into sugar. Flatten cookie in crisscross pattern with the back of the fork.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly set, they will fully set when cooled. Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
