Peanut Butter Cookies

2 sticks butter at room temp.
1 1/3 cup light brown sugar
Scant 1 cup crunchy unsalted roasted peanut butter
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups brown rice flour

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and cream together until smooth. Add peanut butter and beat till thoroughly combined, then add the egg and beat again.

In a small separate bowl, place the flour and baking powder, and stir briefly with a fork to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Place rounded teaspoonfuls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing enough room for the cookies to spread some as they bake. Bake for 18 minutes, give or take, until golden brown.

Allow to cool for five or ten minutes on a wire rack before moving cookies. Transfer cookies to the wire rack to completely cool prior to packing away.

Unbleached baking parchment can also be found at the Co-op.
