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.
So for Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies I hope you will try this peanut butter truffle cookies. 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!
