Nut butter choc-chip cookies

Using nut butter in these cookies makes them rich, nutty and delicious, and replaces the need for regular butter or flour, making them gluten and dairy-free. They’re a little chewy and soft inside – simply scrumptious with a glass of milk. And you won’t believe how quick and easy they are to make!
