EASY GLUTEN FREE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES (USING GF CAKE MIX)



Easy Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies (Using Gf Cake Mix) image

This is from the Cake Mix Doctor's gluten free baking book. I really love all her recipes, and don't feel so guilty about "cheating" with cake mix since most of the GF cake mixes out there have pretty pure, healthy ingredients. Not an overwhelming PB flavor, and you get a nice chewy cookie.

Categories     Nut

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups Gluten free flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Baking soda
227 g Butter
1/2 cup Creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1/4 cup Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla essence
3 tablespoon Flax/linseed meal
7.5 tablespoon Warm water
1 1/4 cups Almond milk
1-2 teaspoon Vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180*F and spray four 6-inch cake pans with cooking spray. (You can use three 8-inch cake pans or three 9-inch cake pans. The layers might be thinner, and baking time will vary, but there will be enough batter for larger cake layers.)
  • Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, powdered peanut butter (if using!), and salt.
  • Combine flax/linseed meal with the warm water. Let it sit for 5 - 10 min
  • Combine Almond milk and vinegar and let it sit for 5-10 min
  • Cream butter on medium speed with an electric mixer. Add peanut butter; mix well. Add both sugars and vanilla. Mix until combined. Add eggs one at a time with mixer running; mix well.
  • Add half of the flour mixture and half of the buttermilk to the butter/sugar mixture. Mix until just incorporated. Repeat with remaining flour and buttermilk; mix until combined.
  • Divide batter among cake pans and bake for about 25 minutes (this will change depending on the size of the pans you use), or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake layers comes out clean.
  • Let cake cool in pans for 5-10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • To make sure the cake is gluten-free, use certified gluten-free peanut butter and all-purpose flour.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • If you want a more decadent cake, add a layer of chocolate ganache or peanut butter frosting between the layers.
  • This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

This gluten-free peanut butter cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture, rich peanut butter flavor, and chocolate chips, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you are gluten-free or not, this cake is a must-try!
