Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

Last week Charlie passed a hospital challenge for peanuts, Harper outgrew his peanut allergy almost a year ago, after he passed I introduced peanuts to Charlie only to find she had a reaction. So this week we are celebrating being a peanut full home. Don't be fooled these biscuits are anything but healthy, but they're good, so good.
