Keep a “log” on hand in the refrigerator for last minute holiday parties. Let the kids in the family help slice & bake these.

 

·         1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

·         3/4 cup smooth or chunky peanut butter

·         1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

·         2 1/2 cups Gluten Free Pantry Old Fashioned Cake & Cookie Mix

·         1 large egg

·         1 tsp. gluten-free vanilla

 

In a large bowl, beat butter with peanut butter and brown sugar until mixture is fluffy. Add the cake mix, egg and vanilla and mix together. Dough will be thick and crumbly. “Knead” the dough with fingertips until smooth.

 

Shape into 2 long rolls and wrap well. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight.

 

Slice logs into ¼-inch slices. Place on oiled cookie sheets and bake 8-10 minutes or until dough is set.

 

Do not overbake.

 

Makes 36 - 42 cookies
