We have found a really tasty flour free peanut butter cookie. It's from the 5 ingredient cooking lady on Foodnetwork:

1 cup natural peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coarse sea salt

Preheat oven to 350. Mix together the peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined. Spoon 1 tablespoon of mixture about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies. Sprinkle coarse salt on top of the cookies. (Note, Hubby does not like the salt on the cookies)

Bake until golden around edges, about 10 minutes, switching the position of the pans halfway thorough baking. Transfer to racks to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Try adding peanut butter chips, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut and even a mini peanut butter cup. Try making a thumb print cookie and add jelly to it.

Hi Abbenanny, it's great your son is taking an interest in his diet and health. Good job, mom. He could actually have rice krispie squares or Chex mix "stuff", if he makes sure the cereal box says gluten-free. This recipe sounds good:

CHEX LEMON BUDDIES (Very Culinary Blog)

9 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 1/4 cup white vanilla baking chips
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups powdered sugar

Measure cereal into a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a microwaveable bowl, microwave chips, butter, lemon zest and juice uncovered on high for 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 more seconds or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring gently with a spatular until evenly coated. Pour into a 2-gallon re-sealable food storage plastic bag. Add powdered sugar, seal bag and shake until all the cereal is well-coated. Makes 9 cups
