Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies (GF) (opt. SF)

I love this take on this traditional cookie because it's so easy (only 5 ingredients).  This is a flour-less recipe, which makes it gluten-free, and it's easily made sugar-free, too, if you like.  Because there isn't flour in this recipe, the texture is a little different than the usual peanut butter kiss cookie--they fall apart much easier.  But the taste more than makes up for the crumbs, believe me.

Plus, all the ingredients are pantry-friendly, so you can keep them on hand and make these cookies any time.

PEANUT BUTTER KISS COOKIES (no flour)

PREP TIME:  10-15 minutes
COOK TIME:  10-12 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 1 c. peanut butter (regular; not reduced fat or peanut spreads)
• 1 c. sugar or Stevia (cup-for-cup)
• freeze-dried egg equivalent of one egg, rehydrated (original recipe:  1 egg)
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 18-20 milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped (sugar-free also available)

DIRECTIONS

In a mixing bowl, cream the peanut butter and the sugar/Stevia.  Add the egg and vanilla, beating until well-mixed.  Roll into 1-inch balls.  Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  The tops should be slightly cracked.  Remove from oven and press one chocolate kiss onto the top of each cookie.  Cool 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
