PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

This recipe has no eggs and dairy-free substitutes can be used in place of the butter. I always use a "natural" peanut butter. For people on gluten-free diets, it is easier to buy a natural product than to decipher a confusing list of ingredients. Natural peanut butter has no added salt. If it tastes "flat" increase the amount of salt to taste.

2 cups Sylvan Border Farm General Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda

Combine the dry ingredients and set aside.

½ cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup natural peanut butter
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup honey
1 tablespoon vanilla

Cream butter and peanut butter. Add brown sugar, honey, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix. Chill thoroughly. Roll dough into walnut sized balls and place on cookie sheet. Press down with a fork. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes. When cool remove from pan.
