Peanut Butter Cookies

1 c fava bean flour (bob's red mill)
1 c brown rice flour (i used x-tra fine)
3/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 stick unsalted butter (I used dairy free)
1/2 c organic granulated sugar
1/2 honey ( I didn't have honey so I used molasses)
1 c creamy peanut butter
sugar for coating

mix first five ing. together, Cream butter sugar & honey & beat 'till fluffy (or at least creamy), about 5 mins. add peanut butter & blend, slowly add dry ingredients. allow dough to sit for 1 hour before baking.
preheat oven 350 degrees. line cookie sheet w/ parchment paper.
using a small ice cream scooper or a melon baller, scoop a ball of dough & roll in sugar, then place on cookie sheet. using the tines of the fork, press cookie slightly to flaten & turn fork & press again to get that peanut butter cookie look that we remember from when we were kids.  Bake for 8-10 minutes. they will seem underbaked, but no worries they will be perfect. Don't overcook....they dry out easily.
