I don’t need to eat a gluten free diet like several of my friends do but I tried these out so they could be served specifically to a couple of my young friends at a church event a few months ago. They were a hit! They are very easy to make and delicious enough that you’ll have to bring enough for those not on a gluten free diet as well. Really a fun treat for all and they were gone quickly. Gluten free foods and recipes have gotten much better in my opinion as well as more common in recent years. With multiple requests, here is the recipe:
Cookie
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (must be regular and not natural style)
6 Tbsp. brown sugar packed
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 medium or large egg white
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray cookie sheet. Beat Peanut Butter, brown sugar, baking soda and egg white until combined. Form dough into 24 even balls by about a 1/2 Tbsp. Place on cookie sheet and slightly flatten with your hand. Place in freezer for 10 minutes. Then bake 5-7 minutes until cookies puff up and edges are set. Remove cookies onto rack and cool completely.
Filling
Vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
Strawberry or Raspberry Jam (Homemade strawberry marmalade is amazing too)
To assemble:
On 12 flipped cookies spoon a small amount of jam or marmalade and a small scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt on top of that. Sandwich a second cookie on top of each to create a “sandwich” and gently press together. Store in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to serve. These transport well over a short distance using an ice cooler.
Serves approximately 12.
Recipe doubles easily.
