White Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

Every once in a while I crave something sweet, but don't want to pay the high prices at a store or gluten-free bakery. Plus the baker in me just loves to come out.
This time I was craving cookies!
For the most part, I use a basic gluten-free mix when making cookies. It can be cheaper than buying several different types of flours and learning how to mix them together in just the right proportions.
For this baking adventure, I decided to the Hodgson Mill's gluten-free cookie mix. It is a simple cookie mix that requires your own mix-ins.
For this recipe, I could not decide between peanut butter or white chocolate chips, so I decided trying this recipe with both. Why does it always have to just be milk chocolate with peanut butter? The answer is that it does NOT have to be that way to be delicious!

These things make awesome cookies

White Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies Ingredients:

1 Box of Hodgson Mill Gluten-Free Cookie Mix
1 Stick of Butter- room temperature
3 Tablespoons of Crisco Vegetable Shortening
2 Teaspoons of Gluten-Free Vanilla (Trader Joe's brand)
1 Large Egg
3/4 Cup of Reese's Peanut Butter Chips
3/4 Cup of Whiite Chocolate Chips

Ingredients in mix

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and shortening using a mixer. Then add the cookie mix until blended throughout. Next add vanilla and egg. Once again make sure it is well mixed. Then mix in both the peanut butter and white chocolate chips by hand.

Dough with mix-ins

Once the oven is pre-heated, using a cookie scooper to spoon out about 12 cookies per sheet. Make sure to leave space between them. You can flatten out the cookies with the bottom of a rice flour covered glass. I chose to leave them somewhat puffy because I like softer doughier cookies. Bake for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Results, they were delightful! I made about 30 cookies which were quickly eaten by many different people. One of my friends who doesn't eat gluten-free tried one and loved it. That is a true stamp of approval!
