Simple Gluten and Dairy Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Growing up peanut butter cookies were one of my favorite cookies and remember big batches were made when I came home from school. I think I could smell them before I even made it down our driveway.

When dairy allergies hit our home , this mom was on a mission to make all the same goodies we love but just a little different. Even though we don’t have a a specific gluten allergy in our home, we all do have immune disorders that gluten is not the best for.

Over the years, I have made several different kinds of peanut butter cookies, but I have to say these peanut butter cookies,, are by far, MY FAVORITE and they don’t even have flour or butter, WAIT! NO FLOUR? AND NO BUTTER? Yep, you read that right and they are AMAZING!
