peanut butter cookies

as long as a chocolate chip cookie was in the works, it seemed a bit silly not to create a peanut butter cookie as well. after all, they have always been my favorite. really, peanut butter anything has always made me quite happy and these are no different. although not completely raw, they are a wheat and gluten free, vegan, superfood wonder in my mind.
