Recipe: Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love these peanut butter cookies for so many reasons! I feel great about feeding them to my family because the recipe contains no flour, no added white sugar, and no unhealthy oils. My family devours these cookies in no time (the recipe only makes 12, so you may want to make a double batch if your family likes them as much as mine does.) If they do last until the next day, the cookies remain soft. These are really yummy and super quick and easy to make. If you like peanut butter, I hope you will give them a try.
