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
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Using a hand blender, mix all the ingredients (except the chocolates) together well.
  3. Scoop out the dough and form them into little ping-pong sized balls with your hands.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. 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!
