Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Serves 14

Recipe Level: Easy

The original recipe for this came from my sister Laura. I have also seen several variations online. I made a few adjustments to take out some additional calories too. But trust me you will never miss the flour in the cookies and they could not be easier to make. They have become a hit with anyone whom I've shared the recipe with.

Peanut Butter - 1 cup all natural
Truvia Baking Blend - 1/4 cup
Brown Sugar - 1/2 cup
Egg - 1 whole
Vanilla - 1 tsp.
Kosher or Sea Salt - 1/4 tsp.

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Measure peanut butter, truvia, sugar and vanilla into a mixing bowl. I like to use chunky peanut butter for a little texture but any kind will work. Mix for one to two minutes with a hand mixer. The batter will be quite thick, so once it comes together, scrape down the sides of the bowl. You could also stir in chocolate chips or chopped nuts at this point too.

3. With clean hands portion the batter into one inch balls and place on a baking sheet.

4. Press each ball down with a fork in a cross hatch pattern that is traditional for peanut butter cookies.

5. Sprinkle the tops of each cookie with just a pinch of coarse sea salt or kosher salt.

6. Put cookies in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Then enjoy warm or at room temperature.
