2 eggs
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 ¾ cup brown rice flour blend * see recipe below
½ teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees.

2. With a mixer, cream together butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Combine eggs with mixture and mix well. Mix in peanut butter.

3. In another mixing bowl mix together flour and salt. Add flour mixture to batter and combine with a spoon.

4. Form into 1-inch balls, put on greased cookie sheet. Press finger into center of each ball to make a small well. You may need to press your thumb in flour several times so dough does not stick to it while pressing the wells.

Chef Notes:

*Originally these were from my grandma’s Finger Klatchen cookie recipe. I tweaked them a bit and made them gluten free. No one will even guess these are gluten free!
