Dead simple peanut butter cookies

A friend of mine send me this recipe and it is too good not to share! It's wonderful whether you are glutenfree or not and it is dead simple. Anybody can make these, even if you are challenged in the baking department.There is only one but... you have to love peanut butter. If you don't? Please check out some of the other recipes i posted here. 

Ingredients:
1 cup (266 grams) of peanut butter 
1 cup (136 grams) of sugar 
1 large egg, beaten 
1 teaspoon baking soda 
1 teaspoon of xanthan gum ( i use this because the cookies tend to break easily as no flour is used that usually adds to a better consistency and this makes them a bit more firm)

Directions: 
1 Preheat oven to 350* and grease cookie sheets. 
2 Beat together peanut butter, the xanthan gum and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. 
3 Add beaten egg and baking soda to peanut butter mixture and beat until well combined. 
4 Roll 1 teaspoon of dough into a ball and place on cookie sheet. 
5 Place dough balls one inch apart on cookie sheet and flatten with tines of fork making a cross pattern. 
6 Bake until puffed and a golden pale, about 10 minutes. 
7 Cool cookies on baking sheet about 2 minutes and then transfer with spatula to rack to cool. 8 May be kept in air tight container at room temperature for 5 days. 
9 Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Enjoy! 

Ps. I think if you melted a bit of chocolate and dipped them in it and let them cool you'd have very yummy and luxurious cookie to serve when you have friends over...
