Peanut Butter Cookies

I tried to develope a recipe for a cookie a little lower in fat and sugar. Whenever you take out the good tasting stuff, it is hard to come up with a final product which does not taste like sawdust or card board. I think this recipe has a balance and is very tasty. It is also gluten free!

¼ cup brown sugar
