GF Peanut Butter Blossums

I absolutely can not taste the difference with these cookies!
They are delicious! If your family can have dairy, I highly suggest making them. If your family can not have dairy look online at chocolate emporium, they frequently have dairy free alternatives.

You will need:
2 bags of Hershey kisses
1/2 cup Earth balance shortening
3/4 C Trader Joes organic creamy peanut butter
1/3 C sugar
1/3 C light brown sugar
1 egg
2 Tbsp. almond milk - or whatever you prefer
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 C rice flour blend ( see previous recipes)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp xantham gum


Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Remove wrappers from chocolates, my kids love this job.
Beat shortening and peanut butter in a mixer until well blended. Add sugars and beat until fluffy, 5 min or more. Add egg, vanilla and milk, beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls, roll in white sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes, immediately press a chocolate into the center of each cookie. Remove cookies to cooling rack.
Prepare for them all to disappear!!!
Enjoy!!
