Gluten Free Cookies
With more and more people searching for gluten free options, this is a great dessert to have in your recipe file of favorites! Nobody would even guess that they are gluten free.
Even with no flour (or gluten free flour) in the recipe, they bake up beautifully and have fantastic peanut butter and chocolate flavor.
Best way to Store the Cookies
Once the Peanut Butter Blossoms have cooled and firmed up, store in an airtight container for 3-5 days at room temperature. They will stay fresh even longer (up to a week) in the refrigerator, or up to three months in the freezer.
*When freezing, if the cookies still still a bit soft, or just to be on the safe side- you can “flash freeze” them on cookie sheets for a hour or so to firm them up before stacking into a freezer bag & placing back in the freezer.
