For this recipe, I used my classic peanut butter cookie recipe and added peanuts for a crunch, dates for a caramel-y texture, and chocolate… well cause… duh 😆🍫🙌🏼
These babies are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and so easy to make 💯
You can easily make these cookies paleo by swapping the peanut butter for nut butter of choice and the chopped peanuts for chopped nuts of choice!
