Almost Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies (Gluten Free)

I concocted this on new year's eve and am posting it. Gotta join a gym this week!

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 10-15
• Yields: 15 cookies

Ingredients

• 1  cup  creamy unsalted peanut butter
• 1⁄2 cup  plus 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 2  large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2  tablespoons  brown rice flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined.
3. Mix dry ingred in a bowl, add to peanut butter mixture.
4. Chill the dough briefly if you have time. It is easier to shape than other doughs if not chilled, but I prefer to work with chilled dough.
5. Spoon about 1.5 tablespoons of mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly.
6. Score the cookie tops with the tines of a fork in a crosshatch design.
7. Bake until golden around edges, about 9-10 minutes, rotating the pans after about 4 or 5 minutes.
8. Let cool on racks.
9. I will add chocolate chips or chunks next time.
10. These were a bit on the sweet side for me, but you might like them as is, or use 1-2 T less sugar.
