When I first found out that my son was allergic to gluten, I tried making some chocolate chip cookies, with plain white rice flour... I vowed that I would never make any thing like that ever again... yes they were probably the worst cookie I had ever tasted.
Then I set out to find a cookie recipe that didn't contain any kind of flour and just happened to find this one. It is always my go to because I always have the ingredients in my pantry, and they are fast. From start to when the timer beeps I can have these finished, clean up as well, in 10 minutes.
My little guy loves to put chocolate chips in them (or even a Hershey Kiss) or even just criss crossed like the classic peanut butter cookies are.
Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking soda
Add all ingredients together and mix until combined. Place 1 tablespoon in your hand and roll into a ball. Flatten with a fork or add chocolate chips. Cook in a 400 degree oven for 7 1/2 minutes.
Some recipes don't call for baking soda, and they come out just fine. I like to add the baking soda because it causes them to rise and therefore creates a softer chewy texture. If you omit the baking soda, they are more of a crunchy cookie.
