Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

 I used to make these before "Gluten Free" became a household word. My family loves them because they have lots of peanut butter flavor! I also use mini chips in it on occasion.



Ingredients:

1 cup (235 ml) white sugar*
1 cup (235 ml) creamy peanut butter
1 egg*
1 teaspoon vanilla
Extra white sugar


Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a bowl add all ingredients and beat together well.  Using two small spoons or cookie scoop place rounded balls of dough onto the parchment paper.

Take a fork and gently press down onto a dough ball then press into sugar, then press back onto the cookie making a crosshatch pattern.

Place cookie sheet into oven for 6 to 10 minutes depending on your oven. You want the cookies to be set but still soft.

*Notes:
United Sates white sugar or granulated sugar is not the same as castor sugar in the UK sadly. "It comes between the UK's granulated and caster sugar" according to usingmainlyspoons.com

Also American eggs sadly tend to be smaller than European eggs. I always bake or cook with either large or extra large to make them somewhat the same as our European counterparts.
