During a flare-up, you may need to avoid a longer list of foods, including fiber, dairy, spices, and acidic ingredients. These irresistible peanut butter cookies fit the bill, and they’re the perfect comfort food for any time of day.

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 + 1/4 cup sifted all-purpose white flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup dairy-free margarine

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, gently packed
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg

1. Sift dry ingredients together into a bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, cream together margarine, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and egg.
3. Blend dry and wet ingredients together a bit at a time with a spoon or fork – or use your hands if that’s easier. Mix well.
4. Roll batter into 1 inch balls in your hand.
5. Place balls on a very lightly greased baking sheet, 1 inch apart (about 12 will fit on a standard baking sheet).
6. Press each ball down half-way with a fork, leaving the imprint of the tines.
7. Bake at 375 F for 10-12 minutes; watch for the edges to turn light brown.
   Remove carefully from baking sheet immediately and place on a cooling rack. Cookies will harden as they cool.
8. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes; store in an airtight container.
