Bakery Style Peanut Butter Cookies (GF)

Another “surprise it’s gluten-free!” cookie recipe for you to enjoy. With simple ingredients comes a simple method; and a very tasty result. Relatively quick to throw together, 10 minutes in the oven, you’ll have your peanut butter cookies with your fav glass of milk in no time! I’ve taken half the dough this time and added chocolate chips to them. And the other half is plain but just as good! I have also made them very large, using an ice cream scoop to make the dough balls, which yields about 15 cookies. Feel free to make smaller ones which will yield around 2 dozen. I’ve used a combination of gluten-free flour and almond flour here and I find the almond flour adds to that nutty flavour.
