Known as "Depression Cookies" or "Mmmfffgnff Mmm" (according to my children) these cookies need only 3 ingredients and are incredibly easy to make.

*The original recipe calls for a 1:1 ratio of peanut butter to sugar but I've found it to be a bit too sweet.
This recipe was the first I made after my son was diagnosed with celiac disease. Gluten free and easy, I have even stuck left over nestles morsels on top.
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear, Maggie! I had no idea it's a gluten-free recipe to boot.
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate morsels sound amazing... I don't normally keep them in my house (they would get eaten long before being put into cookies) :P
