GF Peanut Butter Drops

GF Peanut Butter Drops

This recipe was taken from the Hershey's kisses bag and modified to be gluten free!

Ingredients

48 Hershey's Kisses
1/2 Cup shortening
3/4 Cup Peanut Butter (I used Peter Pan)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
2 Tbsp. 2 % milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 Cups Pamela's GF Baking Mix
1 tsp. xanthan Gum
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Granulated Sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix together dry ingredients in a separate bowl; set aside. Blend peanut butter and shortening. Add sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla. Beat until very well blended! Add the dry ingredient mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Blend well. Refrigerate the dough for 30-60 minutes.

Roll chilled dough into small Tbsp. size balls. Roll the balls in the remaining granulated sugar. Place the balls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Do not smash the balls! Bake 8-10 minutes or until light brown. Remove from oven and immediately press a Hershey's kiss into the center of the warm cookie. This will bond the two together. Remove from baking sheet and let cool thoroughly before storing. Recipe makes approximately 35 to 48 cookies.
