Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

|

Any time we have a birthday party or any other event where there may be children I always make sure that I include some desserts for those who may have allergies. These Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies are perfect for those who have gluten allergies however if you have someone who peanut allergies because they do have peanut butter in them. One great idea is to be sure you have labels so those with allergies know what food is for them. When I do little snack boxes I label them with the kids names so each child gets what they are suppose to get.

Having this sort of food available just makes things easier on the parents and the kids as well. No child wants to go to a party where they don’t get to have a snack. They are pretty simple and you can add in other things like chocolate chips if you wanted. Just be sure whatever you add works well with the allergy idea of these.
