Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

If you have a mad love of peanut butter, then this is for you!


1 jar of creamy peanut butter
1/2c demarara sugar (original recipe called for 1c but I don't do super sweet too well)
about 1/8-1/4c Ahh-laska (or the equivalent) chocolate syrup
2 TB coconut flour
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder

I scooped with a tablespoon and rolled them like those peanut butter blossom cookies (the ones with the choco kiss pushed in after baking) and pressed them down a bit.  Baked at 350* for 10-12 min til slightly brown.  They lightened up considerably while baking, you'd never know there was choco syrup in the mix.  I might try chocolate or cocoa powder next.  These made 2 1/2 dozen but as they are SO peanut buttery and stick to the roof of your mouth rich, scooping smaller portions out would definitely make this go further.

An excellent first attempt.  The coconut flour gave it a hint of indescribable yum.
