Gluten-Free Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies

Gluten-Free Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies with Filling

I have made Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies, Crunchy Peanut Butter and Coconut Cookies, Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cookies with OatmealChocolate Peanut Butter CookiesDairy-Free Peanut Butter Cookies Using Cookie Mix, and now, gluten free egg free peanut butter cookies with teff flour. They’re all wonderful and some are considered grain-free as teff and buckwheat are seeds, not grains. However, my all-time fave is Gluten Free Nutter Butter Cookies Recipe (Dairy-Free). Those are a bit more time-consuming than this new recipe. I enjoy this new one for its nutritional value, ease of preparation, and flavor.  I hope you enjoy them, as well. They’re dairy-free, egg-free, and gum-free, to name a few. They are also grain-free as teff is a seed, not a grain. Continue reading “Gluten-Free Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies”
