Since we have been on this gluten free journey, I have learned that I can take a lot of my favorite recipes and easily convert them to be gluten free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze gluten free peanut butter cookies?
These cookies freeze great. I froze half the batch so that we wouldn’t be tempted to eat them all. Now whenever Jim needs a little treat he can grab a cookie out of the freezer! You can freeze the dough using these directions or freeze the baked cookies.

I love the freezer idea. A whole batch of cookies is too much for us at one time. Haven’t had pb cookies in ages! Thank you for linking with See Ya in the Gumbo.

These look fabulous and I will be trying them soon. Two of my daughters are gluten sensitive and love cookies. Most of the gluten free cookies I’ve found in stores are LOADED with sugar, so we prefer to make stuff at home. I just may have to make these for them today!!
