When it comes to baking, there are endless creations. I can promise you that I will never run out of ideas. Ever. I’ve been asked that question before, but it’s true. There are endless possibilities when it comes to sugar and spice and everything nice!
Sometimes you just need to make life a little easier and make cookies into bars. Don’t you agree? It’s a quick way to change up a recipe. I’ve taken the best peanut butter cookie recipe ever and transformed them into these irresistible peanut butter cookie bars. Seriously, NO ONE will be able to tell these are made without gluten, dairy, or eggs. So soft, with a delicate crumb. I’m hooked.
