Super easy peanut butter cookies that are moist and chewy, certain to please the gluten free and gluten tolerant!
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Hershey kiss candy to garnish each one (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Using a hand blender, mix all the ingredients (except the chocolates) together well.
Scoop out the dough and form them into little ping-pong sized balls with your hands.
Arrange your peanut-butter-ping-pong-balls (say that 5 times fast) on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and press a fork in each one to create the classic peanut butter cookie look.
Bake for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. (Note, depending on the oil content of the cookies, you may get a little smoke in your oven - just turn the fan on before opening the door).
If you want to, press a Hershey's kiss into each one after they've cooled for a few minutes. Don't press too hard or you'll end up with a peanut-butter donut hole cookie like the one pictured below!
