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!!



BAGELS!!!!!!!!


FRESH ONION BAGELS!!
My husband ate 7 in one day! Seriously!!
My husband said the bagels tasted exactly like the ones he grew up with on the East coast. They are definitely heavier than the ones you buy at Dunkin Donuts or Einsteins. Their flavor is superb!
I got the recipe from the October/November issue of Living Without. If anyone wants the recipe that does not get the magazine, let me know at clbrown95@yahoo.com.
