Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter – room temperature
• 1/2 cup salted crunchy peanut butter (I use Trader Joe’s brand)
• 1 cup 50% salted peanuts – chopped
• 1/2 cup XYLA
• 1/2 cup Organic Coconut Palm Sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg – room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups gluten free flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper
3. In a standing mixer cream together the butter, peanut butter, XYLA and Palm Sugar. When well combined add egg and vanilla extract, continue to mix until all is combined.
4. In a separate bowl combine the flour, xanatan gum, baking soda & powder, salt and chopped nuts. Whisk all the dry ingredients together and slowly add to the wet and combine.
5. Using a small scoop form 1 inch ball and place on the lined cookie sheets 2 inches apart.
