Ever had a guest with special dietary needs and you fell short? It’s not a great feeling. Now with this simple recipe you’ll be able to offer wheat-free guests or guests with celiac disease a real treat. And in fact, you can whip these up at a moments notice if need be! Just be sure to set some aside for the guest for whom they were actually made, because if you’re not careful the rest of the family will gobble them up, they’re that good!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar (these cookies are quite sweet, you can reduce the sugar a bit if you prefer things not soooo sweet)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 large egg
Preparation:
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (200C)
- Mix ingredients manually with a spoon to form a ball of dough.
- Line a cookie sheet or tray with baking paper.
- Form about 30 balls, rolling each one in regular sugar before placing on tray.
- Bake for roughly ten minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
- If you have the time and want to make these even more special, drizzle with melted chocolate, or dip half the cookie in melted chocolate. Wow!
Note: I forgot to flatten cookies with a fork, in the traditional peanut butter cookie manner, so that’s why my cookies are a bit dome shaped. Also, I forgot to use the baking powder and they were still good. I’m interested to make some more with the baking powder to see the difference! Enjoy.
