Mom's Go To For Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

     This recipe is my family's favorite gluten free peanut butter cookie recipe.   These peanut butter cookies are as delicious as they look. This recipe comes from my well used Heritage School Cookbook that I picked up at the first school I worked at.

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

1.  In a large bowl mix together: 3 c rice flour (I've used 1 cup rice flour, 1 cup sorghum flour, and 1 cup tapioca flour),  and 2 teaspoon baking soda.

2.  In another mixing bowl cream:
(1)  1 c butter (If you like, you can use 1/2 applesauce  + 1/2 butter to help cut down the fat),  (2)  Add 1/2 cup of white sugar, and 1  cup of brown sugar. (Recipe calls for 2 cups sugar)
(3)  Then add 1 cup of peanut butter to the creamed mixture and mix well. 
(4)  Beat in 2 eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla.  Blend all ingredients.

3.  Stir in dry ingredients:   
(1)   Now stir in the dry ingredients until well mixed.  
(2)  Chill dough for 30 minutes.
(3)  Form into balls.
(4)  Place on a cookie sheet and make a crisscross on the tops with the fork tines. 
(5)  You can put 3 chocolate chips on the top of  some of them if you like.  


4.  Bake the cookies: You can put 12 on a cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 8-9 minutes.  
Take out and leave on the pan to cool.  This makes about 3 dozen cookies.
