Soft + Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies (GF + Refined-Sugar Free)
Soft + Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
I am always trying to come up with or modify recipes to keep them quick and convenient yet healthy. A “clean” peanut butter cookie (or a nut-butter based cookie) is one I have not had luck with for years..until now! Super kid-friendly for the amazing taste and mom/nutritionist approved. I have not tried this recipe with almond butter yet, so can’t vouch for it but it would be another healthy and more “allergy-friendly” alternative.
Something about peanut butter cookies brings me back to my childhood. It was a straightforward recipe to make – something that we, as kids, were easily able to help with. Today, I have my toddler son helping out in the kitchen making these healthified version, which he equally loved to eat too!
