Bake Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies That Taste Like Regular Peanut Butter Cookies

If you're reading this article then you are probably diagnosed with Celiac Disease or know someone who has been diagnosed with this illness. It never ceases to astound me how many restrictions this illness can put on your diet. Especially with hidden dangers lurking under names like Dextrin, Dextrose, or Maltodextrin.

When there are all these restrictions it's hard to find a substitute for something so common like peanut butter cookies. Even if you have Gluten free baking mix, the taste is just a little bit off and you have to experiment to find that perfect peanut buttery flavor.

Cookie Bake

There are so many things to consider when using Gluten free baking mix when your trying to achieve that peanut butter taste. Salted or unsalted butter? Brown or regular sugar? One teaspoon or two of vanilla flavoring?

Well I like to think I got it right eventually, here is my recipe for 4 Dozen Gluten free Peanut Butter Cookies. I like to add whole peanuts into the mix if there's no chunky peanut butter handy.

Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose Gluten-free baking mix
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Gluten-free baking powder
2 tsp Gluten-free vanilla
1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
2 large eggs
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar

Pre-heat your oven to 350 Degrees.

It's not necessary but I like to line my cooking sheets with parchment paper.

Throw together your baking mix with your baking powder and the salt. Get a large bowl and blend your butter, peanut butter, and vanilla together. Add both your sugars and blend again.

Add half of the dry ingredients and then the eggs. I like to add the eggs one at a time, stirring after each one to make sure they mix properly. Add the remaining half of your dry ingredients to combine into a nice soft cookie dough.

Roll your dough into 1 ½ inch balls and set about 2 inches apart. Press the tops with your fingers or a fork, depending on how you want it to look when they swell up.

Depending on your oven you can bake between 14-16 minutes, but it's safe to assume you can bake until whenever your edges are lightly browned.

Now comes the hard part. Waiting until their cooled enough to be edible.
