Low Fodmap Diet Peanut Butter and Choc-chip Cookies Recipe

We whipped up a batch of these hard-to-stop-at-just-1 Peanut Butter and Choc-chip Cookies.

They truly do whip up with little time or effort. The recipe calls for a table spread rather than butter, which makes the dough easy to beat together by hand, as well as keeping things dairy-free and lower in cholesterol. The dry ingredients include a few different wheat-free flours that are the ones I always have in the pantry. If you are so inclined, a handful of oats or quinoa flakes would also mix into the dough with ease.

We often face the dilemma of whether to call something a biscuit or the more American title of cookie. I guess I’ve settled on naming crisp and crunchy varieties biscuits, whereas a cookie, in my mind, is a bit softer to the bite. Whatever you call them, these low FODMAP cookies are pretty yum!  Actually, I reckon a couple of these would make a tasty ice-cream sandwich; I must remember to try that sometime…
