Erin Smith’s Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

A very long time ago, I submitted my recipe for Easy Peanut Butter Cookies to a contest and I won a Whole Foods giftcard. The most exciting part of that contest was that my recipe was also published in Beyond Rice Cakes: A Young Person’s Guide to Cooking, Eating & Living Gluten-Free. How exciting! My very first cookbook.

Now, I am happy to share those cookies again on the Dish Towel Diaries Gluten-Free Holiday Cookie countdown. Silvana is filling December with delicious gluten-free cookie recipes and gift giveaways from her good food friends—and some of your favorite people on the planet! Today it happens to be me!!
