Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies




Ingredients

1/2 cup vegan butter substitute
1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup gluten free, soy free peanut butter (I prefer crunchy)
1 egg
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup almond flour
3/4 cup oat flour 
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
Optional: 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (do not use these if making soy free)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Cream together the butter, brown sugar and peanut butter.  Add the egg and vanilla extract, mix well.  Add in the flour, baking soda and salt.  

Optional: Add chocolate chips for a peanut butter chocolate chip version!

Roll dough into 1-inch balls (or drop by tablespoon scoop) and place onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Made a criss-cross design with a fork, slightly pushing cookie down.

Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.
Let cool for 1-2 minutes on cookie sheet before moving to cooling rack.
