Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup gluten-free peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon molasses
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder

Method
 

  1. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter to a large bowl and mix with your mixer until fully combined and creamy.
  2. Mix in the egg and the molasses until fully combined.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, and baking powder.
  4. Slowly pour the flour mixture into the batter and mix until fully combined; the cookie dough will resemble soft playdough.
  5. Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar to a small bowl for rolling the dough.
  7. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball.
  8. Roll the cookie dough ball in the granulated sugar and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Notes

- Use room temperature ingredients for the best cookie texture.
- Don't skip the chilling step; it helps the cookies maintain their shape.
- Press the chocolate kiss in gently right after the cookies come out of the oven so it doesn't crack.
