Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blossoms
These are the BEST gluten-free peanut butter blossoms - you cannot even tell they are gluten-free! Easy, delicious, and perfect for Christmas!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter sub dairy-free butter
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup pure cane sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cassava flour
- 1/4 cup super fine almond flour
- 3/4 1- to-1 gluten free flour I used Bob's Red Mill
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum*
- 24 Hershey's kisses
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar for coating
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Using a stand mixer (hand mixer works too) beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, cane sugar, and brown sugar. Add egg and vanilla, mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cassava flour, almond flour, 1-to-1 gluten-free flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and xanthum gum.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stir to combine.
- Take a heaping tablespoon of the dough and roll into a ball between your hands.
- Place the granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll each dough ball in the sugar, fully coating it. Prepare a baking sheet by placing a silicone baking mat on top - place the sugar coated dough balls on the pan. Ensure you leave approx. 1-2 inches between each ball, as cookies will spread.
- Bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove from oven and gently press down an unwrapped Hershey kiss in the center of each cookie. Feel free to transfer cookies to a plate or smaller baking sheet and place in the freezer for 5 minutes to cool more quickly.
- Remove and serve immediately or store in an airtight container on the counter for 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Storage: store in an air-tight container on the counter for 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- *Xanthan Gum: I know there is almost always already xanthan gum in 1-to-1 gluten free flours (like Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Flour) but I do find adding a little bit extra just helps bind things together to result in an better texture - that being said these will turn out just fine without it, if you don't already have some in your cupboard.
