Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies


I don't know about you, but sometimes I find gluten-free baking to be a daunting task. With ingredients like Xantham Gum, multiple flour options and equations, I tend to get overwhelmed. So last week I took to the internet to find an easy and tasty homemade gluten-free cookie recipe. 

Thankfully, I was able to find multiple options like this and this. I combined the aspects I liked and took to the kitchen for my first gluten-free baking adventure!

GFPBC: gluten-free peanut butter cookies
1/2 cup peanut butter, brand of choice
1/2 cup granulated sugar, brand of choice
1 egg
1/4 cup gluten-free oatmeal, optional
1/4 cup ground flaxseed, optional 

Directions: Preheat oven to 375˚F. Mix all ingredients in mixing bowl. Combine until mixture reaches a dough-like consistency. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, place on parchment-lined baking sheet. 
With a fork, gently press down dough, to make a crisscross pattern. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies appear light brown in color. 

Enjoy! Do you have any simple, yet delicious gluten-free recipes?
