Gluten free 5 ingredient peanut butter cookies

I had the wonderful opportunity to host a Caza Trail & Grove Square house party last night.
For a dessert to enjoy with the selection of coffee or hot cocoa, I made these peanut butter cookies for the first time. They turned out wonderful.


Gluten free peanut butter cookies:
1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
3 semi sweet chocolate baking squares
Crushed dry roast peanuts

Mix the peanut butter, sugar, egg in a bowl. After mixing well, place into the fridge for at least 30 min.
After removing from the fridge, roll into balls of dough. Place on a non greased cookie sheet. Using a fork flatten the cookie dough in a cris-cross pattern. Bake in a pre-warmed oven at 350 degrees. Bake for 18-20 min.
After cooled, melt the chocolate baking squares in a small glass bowl in the microwave. Melt them at only 15 seconds at a time, stirring each time until the chocolate is smooth. Then dip each cookie in the chocolate and then in the crushed peanuts.

As you can see above I started dipping 2 sides of the cookie, but that was messy. So I then took a spoon and placed the chocolate on the top of the cookie. That was much faster and less messy.


Above is a couple photos from my house party, this is my 8th party. You can go to www.houseparty.com to sign up to host your own house party.
