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.
Love how pretty those cookies look! You're awesome in the kitchen.
