[Super Easy] Peanut Butter Cookies

Yep, everyone's had these gluten free cookies before. They're great for a beginner. Only 3 ingredients. They're quite delicious. But I have to admit I had trouble getting them right. The secret is parchment paper (which is cheapest at WinCo). Then they don't burn.

My previous gluten free peanut butter cookie adventures were good. But these are so simply perfect.

The first time I had them was at a little party with my friends, shortly after going gluten free. They knew (since we had met for lunch at Noodles), and I arrived at the party house to find that they had prepared gluten free treats for me to eat. I did have that awkward feeling inside ("really? they're really not contaminated? you really didn't put graham crackers in them?"). I politely tried them, and Heather makes a rockin' (and gluten free) peanut butter cookie.

She sent the recipe around. The boy will eat these all in one evening, since the recipe only makes 8-10 cookies.

[Super Easy] Peanut Butter Cookies
recipe from my friend, Heather W.

1 cup peanut butter, chunky or smooth (your choice)
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg

Heat your oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (this is really pretty important, since these are higher in fat and will burn on the bottom easily). Put spoon-scoops of dough onto the pan, and flatten them slightly. Bake 15-20 minutes, watching carefully. Remove them from the oven when the middle is still a little jiggly, but the bottoms are crisp around the edges.

Cool and eat.
