Man cannot live by bread alone; he must have peanut butter.
James A. Garfield
My lovely fiancé is seeming to get worse with his (what was a slight) gluten intolerance and of course this bothers me...who else do I subject to testing new inventions?!
Now I have to invent new gluten-free versions of recipes! Woohoo a genuine excuse to bake? I'm all over it.
So my first go at this is peanut butter cookies.
I hope you enjoy these as much as he seemed to!
Ingredients:
2 cups of peanut butter (smooth or crunchy - your choice)
1 cup of dark brown sugar
1 cup of caster sugar
1/2 chocolate chips
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to about 150c
2. Beat the peanut butter with a wooden spoon until it softens up some more and gets a bit creamier
3. Add the dark brown sugar and cream it with the peanut butter
4. Now add the caster sugar in bits, creaming as you go.
5. Finally, add your chocolate chips and you're done!
6. Bake on a grease proof paper lined baking tray for about 10 minutes or until golden brown
7. Let the cookies cool a bit on the grease proof paper and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely
8. Store in an air tight container and (if they're not all eaten at once) they should last 5 days
Note: They will spread quite a bit during baking so give a lot of space around them!
Enjoy and let me see your versions of these.
Happy baking!
