Chocolate Dipped, Peanut Butter & Oat Cookies (GF)

Late night snacks. You don’t always have what you want in your cupboard. But you just might find the ingredients to make what you need! Chocolate dipped, peanut butter and oat cookies. They take no time at all to make. And they are so satisfying, you wouldn’t think they are gluten-free! Trust me, I ate three after they were dipped! It’s a small batch making 10-12 cookies. Most of my cookie recipes make 2-3 dozen….Next time I might double them as they are already all gone. I think Casey ate 3 or 4. I gave the rest away to friends/family who have gluten sensitivities. They too, loved them!

The bake time might sound really short but any longer and they will burn! Keep an eye on them. This is coming from experience of burned cookies!

Hope you all enjoy them as much as we did. If you do, please let me know! It would make my day.
