Ingredients

    3/4 cup brown rice flour
    3/4 cup wheat flour
    1 cup smooth organic peanut butter w/o salt
    1/2 cup Smart Balance buttery spread
    1/2 cup light brown sugar
    1/2 cup turbinado organic cane sugar
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1 large organic egg
    1 tsp vanilla extract

    1/2 cup raw sugar for rolling cookies in.
    Your favorite fruit preserves, 1/2 tsp per cookie.

Tips

USE PARCHMENT PAPER. Make sure you have some before baking these, or you will end up with burnt offerings. Delicious burnt offerings, but burnt offerings, nonetheless.


Directions

Preheat oven to 325, with rack on top setting. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a largish bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. In a large separate bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the peanut butter with the Smart Balance. Once pb and butter are smooth and well blended, add the sugars, until light colored and fluffyish. Add the egg and the vanilla, and blend on medium speed. Blend in the dry ingredients until completely moistened. Roll dough into balls and roll through the raw sugar, and place 2" apart on parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and use the end of a round end of the handle of a wooden spoon, or the tip of a round teaspoon to make a "thumbprint" into the cookies. While cookies are still warm, place 1/2 tsp of preserves into the cookie. Let cookies cool in a single layer on wire racks or paper towel on a clean and dry surface.
