These peanut butter cookies are just like the ones my grandma used to make! Except these days I used white rice flour to make them gluten free. 🙂 They still taste the same!
I must apologize to those of you who can’t have peanut butter – because these Peanut Butter Cookies are amazing!
They also happen to be the ONLY cookies I can make.
Yup.
I can cook delicious meals and bake nummy desserts like cheesecake and apple crisp. But I cannot for the life of me make cookies.
Except theses Peanut Butter Cookies just like my grandma used to make. It’s her recipe actually. So dear sweet angel Grandma, thank you!
And thank you to my kitchen helpers – if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t bake at all!
