sugary peanut butter cookies :)

this is a fantastic recipe for peanut butter cookies, gluten free or not. in the past, i have disliked peanut butter cookies. i think it was a combination of the texture and something that i did not like about the smell of baked peanut butter. but these are fantastic, and i will make them again. maybe because they are crunchy sugary! woo hoo! i made mine with peanut butter and company's dark chocolate dreams peanut butter.


gluten free peanut butter cookies

1 c creamy peanut butter
1 c sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla

1. preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. mix peanut butter and sugar until well blended. then add the rest of the ingredients.
3. take about 1 tbsp of the dough and roll into a ball. if desired, roll in granulated sugar (i did not do this--cookies are very sugary on their own.)
4. press fork pattern in tops of cookies. bake for about 12 minutes.
5. cool for 5 minutes before removing cookies from pan onto wire rack.
