Description

Gluten-free Peanut Butter Blossoms–your favorite holiday cookie just got a gluten-free makeover! Just like the classic, only gluten-free.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 24 milk chocolate KISSES
  • 1/2 cup shortening*
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar (or coconut sugar )
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups GF baking flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove wrappers from chocolate.
  2. Beat the shortening and peanut butter in a large bowl until well-blended. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar and beat again until fluffy.
  3. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla; beat well.
  4. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture.
  5. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the extra granulated sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Take the cookies from the oven and immediately place an unwrapped chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack around the edges. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

*I prefer this kind of organic shortening that doesn’t have hydrogenated oils.
