I like this recipe for a peanut butter cookie, because it doesn't use any butter or shortening, instead using all peanut butter for a stronger flavor. Plus it's naturally dairy-free.
Peanut butter cookies:
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 egg (or, 1 T flax seed meal + 3 T hot water)
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 c. GF flour mix
1/2 t. baking soda
1/8 t. salt
With a hand mixer, beat together the peanut butter and sugar. Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt. The dough will be oily. Form into small balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil, for easy cleanup. Press a fork into the dough at 90 degree angles. (This is required).
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until the bottom of the cookies have started to brown. Top with chocolate, if desired. (I did half and half, but this is recommended)
Makes 1.5 dozen smallish cookies that freeze well.
