Gluten-Free Recipes:
Peanut Butter Cookies |
 |
This recipe makes yummy peanut butter cookies just like the ones you can buy
in the USA and they are gluten free. The cookies you can buy here do not
compare well to those you can get in the USA, so give them a go. They are very
easy to make as well.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
Ingredients:
| 180 gm unsalted butter |
1 cup sugar (1/2 white & 1/2 dark brown) |
| 1/2 cup super crunchy peanut butter |
1 60gm egg |
| 1-1/4 cups GF plain flour (FG Roberts is fine) |
1 tsp xantham gum |
| 1/4 tsp salt |
1/2 tsp GF baking powder |
| 3/4 tsp baking soda |
|
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180C (375F).
- Cream together the butter and sugars, add the peanut butter, and then the egg. Beat well.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, xantham gum, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add the sifted dry ingredients into the batter, stir and then refrigerate for about 1 hour.
- Roll into 2.4cm (1 inch) balls, and flatten with a fork making a criss-cross patteren on top.
- Place on cooking trays lined with baking paper and bake for about 10 mins or until they begin to brown on top. Leave on the tray a few minutes before removing from the baking trays. Cool on wire racks.
