FREEZER PEANUT
BUTTER COOKIES
These soft cookies have a more subtle
peanut butter flavor and, frankly, they are probably one of the nicer ones I
have made. Keep them in the freezer. At
first I used 1/3 cup (75 mL)
erythritol, however, there is a cooling effect.
I suspect xylitol would be fine to use instead, but give it a skip if
you have dogs. Xylitol is deadly for
dogs. I dare not use it on account of
Smiley.
Note: You can use Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2 - they are interchangeable bake mixes, with only slight differences occurring. Use 1/2 tsp gelatin with the wet ingredients.

with a frosting such as the Betty Crocker® -like frosting (click for recipe).
