In this house of allergic people I live in it is an every day (if not more than daily) occurrence to hear, “Can I eat that? What’s in it?”  While it is entirely understandable that the kids are trying to make sure they do not eat something they are allergic to, it is exhausting.  It makes me feel so bad when I make something one of them can’t have, but on the other hand, I always have an alternative on hand for the one that is left out.

I have two kids with single allergies, and I just don’t know how people manage that have children with multiple allergies.  I know they do succeed because parents always figure it out.  It is just hard in our society because everything revolves around food!

So, imagine my delight when I found this recipe for Flourless peanut butter cookies that has no wheat and no dairy!  I about fell out of my chair.  They are so simple I almost wondered if the recipe would work when I first tried them.  To my amazement, these are the most delicious Peanut Butter Cookies!  You can’t tell that they are flourless!  You could sell these at a bake sale, and they would disappear in minutes!  They are that good!

Four ingredients.  That’s it! 4 ingredients, and you will be in Flourless Peanut Butter Cookie Heaven!
