Posted in Gluten Free, and Holidays

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies For Munchkin’s homeschool Valentine’s party, I happily agreed to make the cookies.  Because it was a Valentine’s Day theme, I wanted to make sure I transformed the regular flourless peanut butter thumbprint cookies into something a little more special. I mixed together 2 cups of sugar, 2 tsps baking powder, 2 cups of peanut butter, and 2 eggs until thoroughly combined.  I then took about a tablespoon of the dough and rolled it into a ball.  The dough ball was rolled in pink sugar crystals.  I then flattened the balls and shaped them into…
