Gluten free Reece's Peanut Butter Chip Cookies


Since my daughter is now gluten free, she has been wanting cookies.  She believes the need for a cookie is going to kill her but I keep telling her it will not.  It is very hard for adults to go GF but I have realized, it is pretty hard for little kids. This recipe is adapted from Land O' Lakes gluten free chocolate chip cookies.  I did not have enough chocolate chips but I did have some of the Reece's peanut butter chips.  Remember to always look at ingredients to make sure they are gluten free.

2 1/4 cups Bob's Red Mill gluten free all purpose flour

3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 t vanilla
1/2 package of chocolate chips
1/2 package of Reece's Peanut Butter chips
Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix dry ingredients together.  Cream butter and sugars in mixer until creamy.  Add eggs and vanilla until well mixed, scraping sides of bowel.  Gradually add flour mixture and beat on low until all ingredients are mixed in.  Drop by rounded tablespoons, 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.  Make sure to spray cookie sheets or use the silicon liners.  Bake for 9-12 minutes.  Let cookies cool for 2 minutes on sheet before moving to cooling rack.
