Gluten-free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are melt-in-your-mouth delicious and are absolute crowd-pleasers!

Alternative title: How to please your family and make a batch of cookies disappear in 1 hour flat.

Made with ghee, coconut sugar, a touch of pure maple syrup, creamy peanut butter, gluten-free all-purpose flour and a chopped up dark chocolate bar, these cookies are melt-in-your mouth DELICIOUS! …And are soooo peanut buttery, chocolatey, and the perfect balance of salty and sweet when you sprinkle them with some coarse sea salt.

It’s all about the sprinkle of coarse sea salt at the end, my friends! Coarse sea salt a true cookie makes.

I made this batch of cookies for a family dinner and not only did the cookies go quickly with enthusiasm, but each of my family members raved while savoring them. Each and every one of them made a comment on how much they loved the salty-sweet combo.

It was like a broken record cookie rave, sponsored by sugar and burritos.

Seriously, my people descended upon these peanut butter chocolate chip cookies like vultures. This is why they’re my people.

So let’s bake them, already!

As we all know, I’m a major salmon lover. Just check out my extensive salmon archives

In spite of the fact that I can put my Teriyaki Salmon Bowls, Mediterranean Salmon, and Pesto Salmon in Parchment Paper on repeat over and over, I’ve made it my mission to branch out to the other fishies.

Enter: Cod.

It’s no salmon, but it’ll do 😉

What I love about cod is it absorbs flavor of marinades really well, as it has a subtle, buttery flavor. For this recipe, I whipped up an easy coconut milk-based marinade using full-fat canned coconut milk, fresh basil, ginger, and lemongrass.

The result is magnificent! If you have your own favorite marinade, you can always whip that up instead, or just drizzle the fish with some avocado oil and lemon juice and a sprinkle of sea salt and call it bueno.

Serving the cod salad  with cherry tomatoes, avocado, and roasted pumpkin seeds, along with a homemade basil-walnut pesto as the dressing takes this fishuation (<- get it? fish…situation…buhdumching…??) up another 17k notches.

So let’s do it already!
