Gluten Free Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

My son has Celiac Disease.  This is something we did not find out until he was almost 18 years old.  Anyway, he is off to college now so, I am always looking for recipes for gluten free food that he can eat when he comes home on breaks. 

 

Here is one I found on  Food Network.

Ingredients

• 1 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Coarse sea salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place racks in the upper and lower third of the oven.
In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies.
Bake until golden around edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the pans halfway thorough baking. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.
