Notes
- healthy pantry staples here.
- The cookies won’t seem done when they come out of the oven, this is normal! Let them sit to finish cooking on the baking pan and then transfer them to a cooling rack. Be gentle.
- Store the flourless peanut butter cookies in the fridge in a container. Know that they will firm up a bit on storing.
- Any jam or jelly will work for the gluten-free cookies.
- The nutritional values are calculated without the cacao powder. With the cacao powder, the recipe makes seven cookies.
