I had a request from the Bean for homemade Nutter Butters and did my best to try to make them for him. Unfortunately, every time I baked the cookies in the peanut shape they would expand and grown and turn into giant misshapen beans. I finally gave up and made traditional round peanut butter cookies.
These ended up being gluten free by accident. I didn't check our flour supply before I started in the kitchen and ended up only having Mochiko Rice Flour. It ended up working quite nicely and the cookies ended up thin and chewy and just about perfect.
If you wanted to fancy these up a bit, you could make your own peanut butter but regular old store bought peanut butter works just as well.
