"These amazing cookies are addictive! I created this recipe using a combination of two different recipes when I was craving something chocolaty, fudgey and flour free. You will never believe that they are gluten free!"

ingredients

• For Cookies

• 2 1⁄4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 3 large egg whites
• 2 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla extract

• For filling

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons softened butter
• 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
• 3⁄4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract

directions

1. Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease two baking sheets.
2. Stir all of the ingredients together until smooth. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl, and stir again till smooth. It will be a soft, batter-like dough.
3. Drop batter onto the prepared baking sheets using a teaspoon, then lightly flatten using the back of a spoon sprayed with cooking spray. Bake the cookies for 6-8 minutes. They should spread, become somewhat shiny, and develop faintly crackly tops.
4. Remove the cookies from the oven, and allow them to cool right on the pan.
5. Filling: Mix the butter and peanut butter until smooth.
6. Add the sugars and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
7. Form balls with aproximetly one tablespoon batter each.
8. Flatten each ball, then place between two cookies to form a sandwich.
