Instructions
- Add sugars and melted butter to a bowl and mix to combine.
- Add egg, peanut butter and vanilla and mix until smooth using an electric whisk.
- Add gluten free flour, baking powder, salt and optional xanthan gum, whisking with an electric whisk until smooth.
- Place cookie batter in the freezer for 40 minutes, covering the bowl with cling film or place in tin foil if you need space.
- Preheat the oven to 356F and line two large baking trays with parchment.
- Roll the dough into 13 balls (each weighing about 40g each / 2 tbsp).
- Press each ball down gently to form a cookie and smooth the edges with your fingers.
- Push a few small pieces of peanuts into the top of each. Option to sprinkle with a little sugar if you like a crispier outside.
- Place cookies on the baking trays (leaving a gap between each so they can spread) and bake in the oven for about 10 - 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking tray. Transfer to a cooling rack to fully cool.
Notes
- Using a mix of brown and white sugar yields the perfect cookie. Brown makes them moister and white gives them the perfect crunch.
- Xanthan gum is optional but if you have it it’s best to use as yields a nice cookie consistency, soft and moist.
