Easy Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies (Using Gf Cake Mix)

Submitted by LawyerMom

"This is from the Cake Mix Doctor's gluten free baking book. I really love all her recipes, and don't feel so guilty about "cheating" with cake mix since most of the GF cake mixes out there have pretty pure, healthy ingredients. Not an overwhelming PB flavor, and you get a nice chewy cookie."

I used Krusteaz gluten free yellow cake mix (18oz) and sparkling coarse grained sugar. I rolled in one inch balls, rolled in the sugar, then used a fork to make a cross hatch pattern. The cookies taste great, and look good even though they are much smaller then the ones pictured.. My yield was 48.
