Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies
"This is my gluten free version of dienia b's #recipe15055. She says that this is an old peanut butter recipe from the times before you had processed peanut butter. So I tried it because my peanut butter is that natural stuff where the oil separates when you let t sit for a couple of days. It works like a charm, and I'm so in love with this recipe that I've already made it twice. I halved the original recipe, so fell free to just double the ingredients. Also I used less sugar because I don't like it very sweet. The recipe says 1/2 cup each brown and white sugar. I used 1/4 cup each and find the cookies plenty sweet, and it didn't affect the texture at all. So if you're like me, just know that the recipe also works with less sugar. It also works if you replace the sugar with xylitol and / or erythritol."
