I love peanut butter
Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies
I made these the other night and they came out good. I don't know the perfect cooking time. I made two batches one batch I left in for 12 minutes at 375 degrees f and the other batch I put in at 300 for 15 minutes. There were less in the second batch so they burned a little but they were firm. The first batch of cookies were kind of mushy but still delicious. There is a perfect time and temp in there somewhere so they don't burn or are not too mushy. I like soft and chewy cookies though. Ok enough rambling here is the recipe.
1 cup of packed brown sugar(or 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar)
1/2 cup of butter (room temperature meaning do not microwave)
1 egg
1 1/4 cups of Brown Rice Flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup of natural peanut butter
1. Beat the butter until creamy, 2 minutes. Add the sugars, beat for 2 more minutes, Mix in the peanut butter and egg. Mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda and powder. Stir the dry ingredients into the sugar butter mixture.
2 Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate at least 3 hours. It will come out like the cookie dough in the ice cream.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with something, your flattener (not sure if that is a word, give me a break it's 1am and I am usually in bed) of choice. Bake until light brown, 9 to 10 minutes.
Cool on baking sheets for some time until they are firm.
I got this recipe off of the net and changed the flour to gluten free flour. I also used Organic Butter.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies
