Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies


     These are ALWAYS a hit! They are so easy to make, very tasty, and with only a few ingredients, they are very cheap to make. When I tell anyone they are gluten free, they usually don't believe me and even better, when I tell what I used to make them, they don't believe me! You can use any kind of Hershey kiss or Reese’s are yummy too!

Ingredients:

-1 Cup Peanut Butter
-1 Cup White Sugar
-1 Egg
-1 Tsp Vanilla
-1 Tsp Baking soda (optional)
-1 Bag of Hershey kisses, caramel kisses, or peanut butter cups

     Mix all ingredients together (minus the kisses/pb cups) and stick the mixture in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. This will make it easier to roll dough into balls. I like to then portion chucks out into 20g increments but if you prefer to just make teaspoon size portion’s, that would work as well. Roll into balls and place on your cookie sheet. I usually do one pan at a time as they get warm and sticky pretty quickly. If they do, just stick the batter back in the freezer for 5-10 minutes and try again. When you have a whole pan complete, put them in the oven at 350° for 8-10 minutes. 

     When you take them out, they sometimes make me wonder if they are done. They crack on the tops and look a little gooey between the cracks. The best way to check them, is to carefully flip one cookie over and see if the bottom is browned a bit. If you over cook these cookies the bottoms burn, not the tops. Once you decide they are done, place your chocolate kisses or peanut butter cups in the center. Transfer to a cooling rack and store once cooled. 

      This recipe can make about 2-2 ½ dozen and are DELICIOUS! Enjoy!
