Notes
Nut Butter Alternatives: If you have a Peanut allergy, feel free to substitute the Peanut Butter for another Nut Butter or Sunflower SunButter! Be aware that very oily nut butters may not work well.

There isn’t any flour in this recipe?
Hi Stacy!
This particular recipe doesn’t contain any flour – which is perfect for those trying to avoid grains altogether. However, I’ve got another recipe coming soon for a more traditional peanut butter cookie that tastes more like the real thing if that’s what you’re looking for.
God Bless!

Have you ever used an egg replacement in these cookies? Unfortunately, my son has that allergy too :)
