Author Notes
Chocolate covered peanut butter eggs are one of my favorite Easter memories. I wanted to make a cookie that brought those flavors together, but in a cookie form. I use crunchy peanut butter and chopped nuts, but if you don't like all of the crunch, either use smooth peanut butter or leave out the chopped nuts. These cookies also happen to be gluten-free, but you would never know it! —whiskedawayaz
