HIGH ALTITUDE GLUTEN-FREE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



High Altitude Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies image

This is a slight adaptation of Bev's wonderful "Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies" recipe #17943. They're naturally gluten-free, with no special ingredients, and they taste like regular peanut butter cookies. I live at about 5200 feet above sea level. I'm adding details on the peanut butter ingredients for a GF (and alergy aware) cookie exchange.

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
