"I Can't Believe It's Gluten-free Peanut Butter Cookies"
Adapted from www.emerils.com
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter 1/2 cup granulated sugar* 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (I'm partial to using chunks instead of chips) 1 large egg, beaten 1 tsp vanilla extract
*I used 2/3 cup the second time around just to make the cookies a smidge sweeter.
Directions
Position (2) oven racks in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Roll 1 heaping tablespoon of dough between hands to form a smooth ball. Place balls of dough (you should have 24) on ungreased cookie sheets or ones lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1" apart. Using a fork, press tines on dough in two directions (criss-cross) and bake 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then remove with a spatula and let cool on wire racks.
Store in air-tight containers or freeze.
