Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

I love cookies! and this recipe has become my favorite. It is adapted from Rachel Carlyle-Gauthier's book 'Gluten Free Mama's Best Baking Recipes', I did not come up with this wonder! I just changed a few things to make it work for me :) I strongly suggest trying her flours, mixes and heck go buy her book!

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

1 ¾ cups GF Flour (I use Gluten Free Mama Almond blend)
1/3 cocoa powder
1 ½ to 2 tsp Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum (cheaper and it’s the same as Xanthan)
½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

½ cup butter, room temp
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 ¼ cup sugar
2 tsp Vanilla
2 Eggs

Add as many Chocolate chips as you like :) I probably use more than I should….

Cream the butter and peanut butter together, then add sugar and vanilla, beat it all up, add the eggs. Combine the dry ingredients and mix them up, once the wet ingredients are combined slowing add the dry ingredients. Add in the Chocolate chips. The dough looks odd, like it’s too dry but it is fine. Make small to medium sized balls, flatten a little bit and bake at 350 degrees for about 10-15 mins.
*if you have a GF flour you already use and it has xanthan or guar or some other thickener in it you don’t need to add the xanthan/guar gum again.
