Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups gluten free flour with xanthan - Carol's Gluten Free recommended
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup smooth or crunchy peanut butter - not the "all natural" type
- ½ cup butter - softened
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 2 large sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl.
- Cream the peanut butter and butter in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer.
- Add the eggs and beat until combined well.
- Add the sugars, heavy cream, and vanilla mixing again until combined.
- Slowly add the flour mixture with the mixer on a low speed until it is fully integrated.
- Mix in any desired chips, otherwise spoon or scoop onto sheet pans. Use a fork to gently press cross hatches into the tops & sprinkle with sugar, make thumbprints and fill with jam or just pop them in the oven as they are.
- These cookies will spread nicely, so there's no need to flatten them very much. In fact, it is better to leave them in more of a ball or tall dome to ensure a thick and chewy middle.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes, remove when still a little shiny or wet looking. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes to prevent them from falling apart.
