Ingredients

1 cup Peanut Butter
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar can sub Coconut Sugar
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter softened (vegan butter for dairy free)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Egg whole
1.5 cups Gluten Free Flour Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350'
Put the peanut butter, softened butter (or vegan butter) and sugars in a large bowl and use hand mixer to combine until smooth (about 2 minutes)
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix again until fully combined
In a separate bowl, add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine and then pour into the bowl with the wet ingredients
Use rubber spatula to fold wet and dry ingredients together until fully combine and then use a cookie scoop to scoop out dough and roll into a ball. You should get about 24 total
Place the balls on a lined baking sheet (parchment paper or a silicone mat) and then gently press the top of each ball down with the back of a fork (vertical and horizontal) to make the classic criss cross pattern (can sprinkle granulated sugar on top if desired)
Bake for 11-13 minutes, be careful not to over bake, you want them to be soft and chewy. Let cool before removing from the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag
