Immaculate Baking Co. GF Peanut Butter Cookies

Do you remember those days when you would cheat and pop up a package of cookie dough ready to throw in the oven?

For most of us living gluten-free, that memory may be quite far removed (or if you are a cookie baking purist, you might only have memories of friends doing this).  With the wealth of new gluten-free products on the market, we now have our chance again…or for the first time.

I recently received some samples from Immaculate Baking Company of their new Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookie Dough.  Preheating the oven and popping the semi-flattened dough balls onto the baking sheet were the only prep work involved.  That’s quite handy when you’re spending a lot of time renovating your house and finishing up graduate school.

Less than 20 minutes later, out pops some delicious cookies (and barely any clean-up, too 🙂 ).  These cookies have a light peanut butter flavor.  Martin thought they were really good because they weren’t overpoweringly peanut buttery.  They are chewy and floury and have quite a bit of butter flavor to them, too.  Little chunks of peanuts give a twist to the smoothness of the cookie.

During baking, these cookies do not flatten out too much, so they retain quite a bit of thickness.

Immaculate Baking Co.’s Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookie Dough is certified gluten-free through the GFCO, has no trans fats, and no artificial flavors.  They also currently have a gluten-free chocolate chunk cookie dough and gluten-free fudge brownie cookie dough.  The gluten-free doughs also use a non-dairy recipe.

You can find Immaculate Baking Co. products just about all over the place (in my area, tons of stores have them including Wal-Mart and Super Target).  If your favorite local store carries some of the products but not the gluten-free ones, talk to the management and see if they will order some.
