With my husband having Celiac and a chocolate allergy these Peanut Butter Cookies are a good option for his sweet tooth needs.
I sometimes bring these cookies to work for everyone to try. They are always surprised that a gluten free and vegan cookie could taste like a “regular” cookie, and they always eat them all!
Peanut Butter cookies are one of favorites and this is a great recipe! Enjoy!

These sound great! My kids love to bake with me and I love to expose them to new recipes. These will make a great treat this summer. I love the idea of adding raisins to them.

Vicki, my boys love baking with me too! Thanks for the invite!
Those look delish! Thanks for linking up!
I was wondering if you can use almond butter instead of peanut butter
Yollys, I have not used almond butter before, but I do not think it would be an issue. If you try it let me know how it turns out!
Ooh I’d love to try these out! We love peanut butter cookies!! Have you heard of wow butter? They could be my fee too 😉
