Arkansas Travelers Peanut Butter Cookies

This recipe for gluten-free Arkansas Travelers Peanut Butter Cookies was inspired by a few different things. The first time I discovered this recipe (in its original form) was in my grandmother’s very old recipe scrap book. I wanted to create a healthier version that was gluten-free with less sugar.

Mocha Tortoni Cups

My dairy-free Mocha Tortoni Cups are made from eggs, gelatin and coffee, which makes this a low-fat version.

These have a great mocha flavor thanks to JUST Coffee El Corazon blend.
