Peanut butter truffle cookies are melt in your mouth delicious. This gluten-free cookie makes the perfect lunch box treat.
I often look through my Mom’s recipe boxes and handwritten recipe journals. I pull them out many times a year. It seems like every time I do I find something I haven’t seen before. My most recent find, that I’ve never seen before, was this peanut butter truffle cookie. Not that my family has gluten issues, but it so happens this cookie is gluten free and it’s delicious. Even my peanut butter avoiding kid liked them! Honestly, I was really surprised at how delicious this cookie turned out. I suggest using your favorite chocolate chip, whether it’s semi-sweet, milk, dark or bittersweet. I wouldn’t suggest white chocolate.
While they would be a nice addition to your holiday baking they are also perfect year round for your lunchbox or workplace treats. Or a “just because” treat!

PB and chocolate, I’m there!
How interesting that there is no grain in them! I am going to have to give them a try!
These sound tasty. It’s good to have a few gluten free cookie recipes on hand for my friends with dietary issues. Thank you, also, for clarifying that the peanut butter shouldn’t be natural! I’ve had a number of flops because I’ve tried to use it when I shouldn’t!!
