Share your thoughts, or ask a question!
can reg. all purpose flour be used instead of almond flour ?
I was very skeptical because of the amount of butter used overall.
So I made it without the butter for the base the peanut butter was more
Than enough to form the dough. And replaced the butter with two tablespoons of peanut butter to the chocolate chips. Delicious
