Peanut Chocolate Chunk Cookies

There are a million and one things I’d like to be remembered for in this lifetime—being a bad ass wife, mama, businesswoman, role model for others, etc—but I’d also like to be remembered for my BAD ASS BAKING SKILLS, because THESE. THESE gluten free, vegan PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES are, I swear, the best healthy cookie I’ve ever made. I took my tahini chocolate chip recipe, messed with the ratios, made the recipe about 5 times over until I perfected it, and MY GOD, please go do yourself a favor and make them.

They are vegan — made with no eggs; dairy free; and can be paleo if you sub out the peanut butter for almond butter. These cookies are a hit, every single time I make them!
