Ingredients

  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 100 g light brown sugar
  • 140 g butter melted (dairy free alternative if necessary)
  • 160 g gluten free plain flour
  • 250 g peanut butter smooth or crunchy - but ideally a more creamy peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
  • jam any flavour you like - I prefer raspberry

Instructions

  • Place your caster and light brown sugar into a bowl. Add your melted butter and mix throughly until combined.
  • Add in your egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Next add your peanut butter. Use an electric hand mixer to whisk until fully combined.
  • Then add your gluten free flour, bicarbonate of soda and xanthan gum and mix in until fully combined.
  • Chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours (minimum) in a bowl covered with clingfilm. You can chill the dough for longer if you want to make it in advance.
  • Preheat your oven to 160C Fan / 180C and prepare a couple of baking trays with some parchment/baking paper.
  • Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the fridge and roll into balls (mine weighed around 30-35g each). Optionally at this point you can roll each ball in some granulated sugar to give it a nice crunch.
  • Put your balls onto your baking tray with space between each one.
  • Carefully press your thumb down into each ball to create a hollowed out centre - be careful to not go too deep as you could create a hole!
  • Spoon about 1/2 tsp of jam into each centre - until the hole is nearly filled up.
  • Place in the oven for for about 15 minutes until the cookies have spread and turned golden.
  • Allow to cool on the baking tray before moving them.
  • If you want to add a little extra jam at the end... go for it, I usually warm mine up to make it smoother.
  • Enjoy!
