    Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies studded with chocolate chips and dressed up for the season with fall colored peanut butter M&M’s on top. These gluten-free cookies are tender and chocolatey and without the flour, the peanut butter flavor shines through.

    My niece and I were talking about baking cookies for her wedding, and she said she wanted to include a gluten free cookie for family members that were eating gluten free. I suggested serving flourless peanut butter cookies.

    Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe from Barbara Bakes #Gluten-free

    Ultimately she decided not to serve cookies, but I couldn’t get the flourless peanut butter cookies off my mind; everyone raves about how terrific they are. Everyone at my house agreed – they’re a tender, soft, delicious cookie.

    My son’s friend Mitch especially loved these cookies. He’s always complimentary about everything he eats at our house, but he said these cookies were the best cookies ever.

      Those look so good…..I love peanut butter cookies of all kinds. You know, I’ve made a lot of peanut butter cookies in my day but never flourless ones. One of our neighbors can’t have gluten and I was wondering what dessert to make for a neighborhood get together that he can eat. I do believe you just answered that question for me, Barbara. Thank you! 🙂
