Gluten Free Tuesday - peanut butter cookies

I've been eating gluten-free for several months now and need to organize my many new recipes. One of my favorites is this easy peanut butter cookie recipe.  It mixes up very fast and is perfect for dessert or even a sweet breakfast.

1 egg
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup packed brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 350.  Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth (it'll be like a thick paste).  Scoop out spoonfuls onto a cookie pan and try your best to flatten them with a fork. The dough will be very sticky.  Bake for 8 minutes. Take out of the oven and let them cool completely.  This is so the cookies don't crumble.  Or you could be like my husband and scoop the scalding dough straight off the pan and eat it.

If you'd like you can add some chocolate chips or mini m&ms to the mix.  Next time I make these I'll come back and add a picture.
