Absolutely wonderful cookies. I used canola oil instead of shortening they turned out wonderful. Will certainly make again.

I just started cooking gluten free and am at a high altitude, so I wasn't sure if these would be good... but they're absolutely delicious! The mile high altitude here didn't pose a problem at all. The flavor is incredible - peanut butter and chocolate are my all time favorites, and my family's too. I will make these often! I didn't have the individual flours and potato starch, so I used 1 3/4 c of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour and the appropriate amt. of xanthan gum. Perfect!

I made these and had my kids and husband try before trying them myself. They loved them and were shocked when I told them they were gluten free. Since I have taken them to work and surprised co workers with the news they were gluten free. Awesome cookies!

I have a gluten free recipe just like this one but its very simple. its 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla and then the choc kisses.. blend all together bake 350 for 8-10 minutes then add the kiss.. I got it from a Taste of Home magazine a long time ago but havent found it online yet.

do you have any gluten free recipes that don't use so many different kinds of flours or starches

I'm new to gluten-free baking but I was very happy with these cookies. Instead of butter-flavored shortening I used half butter and half regular shortening. I didn't have chocolate kisses so I stirred mini chocolate chips into the cookie dough--a little chocolate in every bite!
