Gluten Free Peanut Butter cookies

My co-worker moved away, but she left me the Best. Present. Ever: This recipe for Gluten-Free Peanut Butter cookies! (Thank you, Kait!)

Now don’t let “gluten-free” scare you away. These are the best gluten free cookies I have EVER tasted! And they are easy to make. (Bonus)! Add a drizzle of chocolate on top, and these are a true winning cookie!

A little chocolate, a little peanut butter! Yes, these will be a WINNER at my house.

Here’s what you do: Mix together the peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla with a spoon. Then toss in your “add-in” flavor of choice (full recipe at the end of this post). Bake. Drizzle. Eat. YUM!

We tried white chocolate chips in some of our cookies and marshmallows in others. Here’s the trick: if you add marshmallows, wrap the dough around them before baking.

Also, you want to flatten them just a little with the palm of your hand before baking.

Then, when you take them out of the oven, allow them to cool a bit before you drizzle the melted chocolate. I microwaved the chocolate in a baggie for about 30 seconds, smooshed it around and microwaved it another 30 seconds. It doesn’t take long. Then, snip of a tiny corner of the bag.

These are the cookies just out of the oven. Notice those ones with the marshmallows in them on the left? The marshmallows do try to escape!

That combination of peanut butter and a little chocolate…oh, wow! You will love these little cookies…and you may not even miss the flour!

We all decided that even though the marshmallow cookies were a little messier, we liked those better than the white chocolate chip ones. But they are all delicious! Which ones would win at your house?
