YIELD: 26 COOKIES
Loaded with peanut butter and chocolate, these cookies are just as decadent. Use an easy-to-find brand
of peanut butter that’s free from molasses (and therefore low-FODMAP). While I love natural peanut butter and use it in lots of my recipes, it’s a bit too thin to use in these cookies.
