Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients (makes about 32 cookies):
- 4 Tbsp. oat flour (I ground old fashioned oats in our little food processor to make this)
- 2 Tbsp. almond meal
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 2 Tbsp. flaxseed meal
- 1/2 C. granulated sugar
- 4 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 C. smooth peanut butter
- 4 Tbsp. applesauce
- 1 Tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. Grandma’s molasses
- optional: tiny pinch of salt (taste the dough first to see if you want it any saltier)
Instructions:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix with a fork.
- Add peanut butter, applesauce,vanilla and molasses. Mix well. Taste the dough and you can add a tiny sprinkle or pinch of salt if you want them a little saltier.
Missing the molasses here. You really don’t need molasses, but the molasses just adds an extra bit of flavor and chewiness - Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll dough into balls ( about 1 Tbsp. round) and bake on cookie sheet in preheated oven for about 6 minutes. The cookies should spread on their own while baking, so don’t worry about flattening them beforehand.
- Remove from oven and let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for about 5 more minutes to finish cooking. Transfer to a plate or wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
