Gluten Free Salted Peanut Butter Cookies
If you are a peanut butter fan then these are the cookies for you. They are gluten free balls of joy, the only problem is once you've had one its hard to stop.
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups of smooth peanut butter (I prefer skippy's)
Coarse-grained sea salt, to sprinkle on top
Directions:
In one large bowl mix the eggs and sugar together. Add in the vanilla and then the peanut butter and mix all together to create a paste. Small tip - If you aren't gluten free you can add a tablespoon of flour to make them slightly denser.
Place the dough in the fridge for 15-20 min covered. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees
Take the dough out and use an ice cream scoop or spoon to roll out small balls on a sprayed or lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle each cookie with a little sea salt and place in the oven. Make sure to keep them on the higher wracks as these have a tendency to burn on the bottom from the oil of the peanut butter. Cook for 15-17 min until golden and a crust has formed across the top. Let them sit and cool on a rack for 10 min before eating to set.
Enjoy and share :)
Yields: 20-24 large cookies
