When you’ve got peanut butter cookie fans and chocolate chip cookie fans, why not mix the two together and make everyone happy? It really is the best of both worlds in these gluten free vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!
Can you really have too many chocolate chip cookie recipes? My answer is NOPE. You can have chocolate chip cookies with walnuts, cranberry orange chocolate chip cookies and of course there are chocolate chip cookie bars. The possibilities are endless and I’m ok with that because this girl will never tire of the beloved chocolate chip cookie.
When thinking of another cookie combination, peanut butter always comes to mind. In my house, it’s the most requested type of cookies. I knew if I added semi-sweet chocolate chips to a soft peanut butter cookie, they would of course be a HUGE hit. Boy, was I right! We all know that chocolate makes everything better.
For all of you PB + chocolate fans, these gluten free vegan peanut butter chocolate cookies are for you! The soft, chewy peanut butter cookie with an abundance of chocolate chips makes them pretty irresistible. No one will ever know they are made without gluten, dairy or eggs. They are great for packing as a treat in school lunches, bringing to a potluck or for enjoying on a Friday night with friends. These cookies are just plain GOOD!
