Notes

Gluten Free Cookie, Vegan and Other Substitutions
Unsalted Butter: If you only have salted butter on hand, you can omit salt from recipe. For a vegan modification, you can substitute vegan butter.
Peanut Butter: I recommend using creamy, unsalted, unsweetened.
Sugar: I recommend unprocessed cane sugar. However, you can also use granulated white sugar, brown sugar or coconut sugar.
Egg: Any type of egg can be used for this recipe. For vegan modification, you can use a flax egg (mix 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal and 2.5 tablespoon water, allow to rest for 5 minutes to thicken)
