Peanut Butter Cookies

This recipe still needs a little tweaking. The cookies are yummy, but taste not quite "finished" in some way that my wife and I are still trying to figure out.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl (or electric mixer's bowl) combine:
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar (not packed)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup yogurt, nonfat vanilla
  • 2 cups peanut butter (equals 16 oz. or 1 jar)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
Mix well, then add:
  • 5 cups gluten-free flour mix
  • 1/2 cup flax seed (or flax seed meal)
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda (or 2 Tbsp baking powder)
Mix again. Bake on a greased cookie sheet (or cookie sheet with a silicon mat) for 14-15 minutes, until the bottoms begin to brown.

Makes about 90 cookies.
