I am a gluten-free eater and love a great tasting gluten free cookie recipe! Thanks so much for posting this, but could you please include how much peanut butter should be in this peanut butter cookie recipe? I can't wait to play with it.

These are amazing, and you saved my life. I absolutely love peanut butter cookies, but since I became gluten free I didn't know if I could do it. These are just amazing and now i'm happy as could be.

This cookie recipe doesn't taste gluten-free. These gluten-free cookies are tried, tested and taste truly really, really good. In fact they're just as good as (if not better than) their original, non-gluten free predecessors. They're sweet, tasty, and delicious. I hope that you enjoy them!
