EASY GLUTEN FREE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES (USING GF CAKE MIX)



Easy Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies (Using Gf Cake Mix) image

This is from the Cake Mix Doctor's gluten free baking book. I really love all her recipes, and don't feel so guilty about "cheating" with cake mix since most of the GF cake mixes out there have pretty pure, healthy ingredients. Not an overwhelming PB flavor, and you get a nice chewy cookie.

Time 20m

Yield 10-20 cookies, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15 ounce) package yellow gluten-free cake mix
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons margarine or 6 tablespoons butter
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients, except the sugar together in a mixer until incorporated.
  • Place the sugar in a shallow bowl.
  • Form 1 inch balls with the dough and roll each one in the sugar. Arrange them on a cookie sheet, pressing with a fork to make a pattern if desired.
  • Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cake mix. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have peanut butter chips, you can use chopped peanuts or another type of nut.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough.
  • These cookies are best eaten fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
