These Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies with Dark Chocolate Drizzle remind me of peanut butter kiss cookies, just a little bit more grown up.

Gluten-Free Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies with Dark Chocolate Drizzle

I used to make lots of cookies around the holidays, but I found myself tasting a few too many from all the batches of cookies. This past year, with the discovery that my youngest son is allergic to wheat and other foods, I’ve really cut back on my holiday baking. These Gluten-Fre Peanut Butter Cookies with Dark Chocolate Drizzle, which remind me of peanut butter blossoms (the peanut butter cookies with chocolate kisses on top), were one of the few cookies I’ve made this holiday season. They’re made with almond flour, so they are gluten-free, plus they are vegan.

    I love peanut butter blossoms, well I love anything that calls for peanut butter and chocolate. I have no doubt I’d love these cookies too. Vegan too, way better!!
