This is the easiest cookie you will ever make. This cookie is flour free so for those that are avoiding gluten this is a great soft and chewy cookie. It is Christmas after all and I have been playing around with a few cookie recipes and trying to come up with a few new favorites. My kids love peanut butter cookies and have been begging me to make them. This recipe I found at Gluten Free Girl and the Chef was on my list to try out.
Although the recipe does not contain flour it still, of course, contains sugar. I try to use the healthiest form of sugar whenever possible and this time I used organic cane sugar but next time I might try coconut sugar or maple syrup.
My kids get very tired of my Paleo experiments and just want "real cookies" from time to time. They are leaving for Hawaii on Thursday and I want to spoil them for a few days. They really loved this one.
Peanut Butter Cookies
recipe from: The Gluten Free Girl and the Chef
1 cup of smooth peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely.
Makes about 13 small cookies.
Wow, these are good! The kids would eat them all tonight if I let them. Given the sugar content we will stick to one or two a day...I doubled the recipe otherwise they would have all been gone by now!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! Thank you so much for the recipe! We just recently went gluten-free, and these are satisfying to even the gluten tolerant among us.
