GF Peanut Butter Cookies: New Family Favorite

We have spent two years trying to find amazing gluten-free baked goods. We have had no luck. Most GF baked goods are for the most part, hard. Sometimes they are as hard as a rock. Sometimes they are crusty as a rock on the outside and soft on the inside. Sometimes they taste like salty, spoiled, I don't even know what. And sometimes they are only good when they are just cooked and an hour later they taste awful. Mostly, we have tried other people's recipes and GF products from the grocery store GF and frozen section.

FINALLY, I have made a recipe that works! These cookies are awesome when they come out of the oven. Awesome the next day. Awesome after they are frozen and thawed. So excited I can finally eat a good cookie again.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (We use JIF Natural)
1/2 cup Butter, softened
1 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, firmly packed
3 Tbsps Milk
1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract (not imitation vanilla)
1 Large Egg
1 3/4 cups Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Baking Flour (Gluten Free and Dairy Free)
3/4 Tsp Baking Soda
3/4 Tsp Salt

Heat oven to 375 degrees.
In large bowl, combine peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, vanilla. Beat at medium speed until blended. Add egg. Beat until blended.

In medium bowl, combine, flour, baking soda and salt. Add in portion creamed mixture until well blended.

Measure cookie dough by rounded teaspoon and roll into a ball. Drop cookie ball onto a baking sheet two inches apart. ( I used non-stick foil. Parchment paper will absorb some of the butter or PB and change the recipe and cook time.)

Take a fork, dipped in flour and lightly press fork on the top of each PB ball in a checkerboard pattern.

Bake for 8 minutes. Do not over bake.

Let cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes. Remove and place on cooling rack to cool completely.

Makes about three dozen cookies.

Happy Baking!

Have a Health-a-licious Day!

The December Adventure to Find a Delicious & Simple Gluten-Free Bread Recipe

Oh my goodness. I have tried a GF bread mix, GF flour, a mix of GF flour and rice flour all...yuck. Still the best GF bread recipe I have is cornbread. In fact, last week we turned it into a jalapeno cornbread. Now we are going to try a jalapeno & cheese cornbread. Amazing!! Add some beans on top and some GF chicken broth on top. Yummy. The Adventure 1. The GF recipe said, put all the dough in ONE bread pan and let rise to the rim and bake. Since I have baked homemade bread in the past, I thought, "Hmm. This sure is alot of dough for only one bread pan." And...it was. As it baked, it rose five inches above the bread pan itself. It browned on the outside and cooked the appropriate time, I took it out and it was not cooked on the inside. I laid it on a cooling rack like instructed, the bread collapsed. Very bizarre. I think the directions on the GF bread back need to be changed. LOL 2. I took an old recipe from my Grandfather and adapted it, adding GF baking flour an...

Eureka! #GFCookies #sugarcookies #fluffycookies

I always taste the cookie dough? Do you? I know we are not supposed to because of the raw eggs, but I have been eating cookie dough since I was a kid. The dough is an indication to me of how the cookies will taste once they are baked. GF dough is an especially sensitive indicator of how cookies will taste after baking. This dough tasted different than the other recipes I have adapted and I thought...THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT! May even on the verge of greatness! So, here it is. My newly adapted sugar cookie recipe. It has taken 3 years and many batches to find this adaptation. I hope you enjoy them. GF Fluffy Sugar Cookies Ingredients 3/4 cup All Purpose GF Baking Flour (Bob's Red Mill brand) 2 cups White Rice Flour (Bob's Red Mill brand) 1 tsp Baking Soda 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 cup Butter (softened) 1/2 cup Butter Flavored Crisco 1 1/2 cup Sugar (This batch I used white sugar. Next batch I will try organic cane sugar.) 1 egg 1 tsp Madagascar Va...
