Easy, Gluten Free

Project Proposition:
Create an easy snack with items already in pantry for my weekly Avid and Addicted Meeting: Nip Tuck.

My Thinking:
Searched yahoo answers, found recipe for easiest peanut butter cookies.

1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
1 egg
1 cup sugar

Mix all together. Roll into walnut sized balls, gently press them down, typical fork action decor for peanut butter cookies, sprinkle a little bit of sugar, and pop in the oven 10 minutes on 350.

Success:
Tasted great, made about a dozen and half, and were a hit!

Gluten Free:
Best part is I discovered the recipe was GLUTEN FREE! (One of my best friends is gluten intolerant, so I was very excited to confirm this information with her).

She typically uses the recipe I have linked below that is also gluten free and ironically compliments of Paula Dean:

Magical Peanut Butter Cookies

***Gluten Free Friend (my GFF) substitutes an egg white, doesn't grease the baking sheet, and uses natural crunchy peanut butter (pours off the oil from the jar before mixing).

Lesson Learned:
Super easy cookies! And no need to run to the store!
