I have been interested in making tons of "copycat" cookies and baked goods recently. I mean who wants to buy them at the store when you can make them from your own home? I have already made thin mints (which turned out great), nutter butters (again, great), and yesterday I made Keebler fudge stripe cookies (which were probably my favorite...wait I say that about everything...). Today I decided to stick with one of my favorite Girl Scout Cookies. A simple cookie with peanut butter and chocolate. Doesn't that sound like heaven? I was once a Girl Scout and I remember eating so many boxes of cookies rather than selling them (don't tell my mom). I wanted to re-live my childhood in my kitchen today. I decided to make these gluten free for those who have a sensitivity. Check them out. Oh, and these guys are huge!
*Makes: 24 cookies (depending on size)
- 2 1/4 cups (320g) gluten free plain flour
- 1 tbsp xanthan gum
- 16 tbsp butter
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (70g) powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cup (220g) milk & dark chocolate, chopped
- 8 tbsp peanut butter (at least)
- 4 tsp powdered sugar, sifted
