Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 34
Ingredients
  • 7 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • ½ cup peanut butter, smooth or chunky (not natural)*
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ⅓ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon brown rice flour
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon potato starch
  • ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup sugar for rolling
Directions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, peanut butter, ½ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Beat until combined, scraping sides down, for about two minutes. Add vanilla and mix until combined.
  2. In a separate smaller bowl, combine coconut flour, almond flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, xanthan gum, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Whisk together until ingredients are evenly spread throughout the bowl.
  3. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture. Mix until completely incorporated. Chill dough in fridge for at least 30 minutes or until easily handled. Do not add more flour to mixture! If it is slightly sticky, just chill longer.
  4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 1" balls and roll them in ¼ cup sugar. Arrange them 2" apart on cookie sheets.
  5. Using a fork, slightly press cookies down only about ¼", just enough to show indentions from fork. I had a little help on this step!
  6. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes until barely browning and set. Do not over bake.
Notes
*Natural peanut butter is more runny and does not hold shape well. Use peanut butter like Jif or Skippy.
