Thanks so much!
I have a simpler & cheaper recipe for them… it just uses peanut butter, sugar or brown sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, & chocolate chips. I usually double the recipe, make them into bars, & frost them instead of using the chips in the bars & we bring them to parties, etc. in place of not having gluten cake
. Def not healthy, but gluten cake isn’t either so I don’t feel guilty & as I used to never have a problem eating cake at parties before being GF 
.
Next time you make them I would love a picture and to post the recipe. Email me through the blog if you are interested.
Thanks!
Okay, I will LYK
