Cool Time 10 minutes

Total Time 17 minutes

Servings 28 cookies, depending upon thickness

Ingredients

1/4 cup 1/2 stick unsalted butter (or Smart Balance for dairy-free or Earth Balance for vegan)
1/4 cup shortening or more butter for softer cookies
1/2 cup creamy salted peanut butter or add 1/4 teaspoon salt for unsalted (or sesame butter for peanut-free)
1/2 cup granulated sugar vegan if needed
1/2 cup light/golden brown sugar vegan if needed
1 large egg lightly beaten (or 2 tablespoons liquid from can of cannellini beans + 1 tablespoon butter/margarine)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 cup Carla's Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour Blend Recipe
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and microwave for about 2 minutes on low (level 8) or until melted.
Immediately stir in the shortening. Then, add the peanut butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour blend, baking soda, and salt. Add all at once to the peanut butter mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
On a smooth surface such as a sheet of plastic wrap or a silicone baking mat, shape the dough into a 16-inch log. Slice as many 1/3-inch thick slices as you desire to immediately bake.
Transfer the slices to a sheet of parchment paper. For crunchy cookies, (based on a 1200 watt microwave) bake at Level 5 according to the number of cookies you are baking: 1 cookie = 60 seconds/1 minute; 2 cookies = 1 minute 5 seconds; 3 cookies = 70 seconds/1 min. 10 seconds, 5 cookies = 80 seconds/1 min. + 20 seconds, etc.

Tips

The longer you bake them, the crunchier they will turn out. For softer cookies similar to shortbread, bake at a lower temperature like Level 4 and/or use butter in place of shortening.
