- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour blend make sure it contains xanthan gum
- 1 cup chocolate chips or vegan/dairy free chips

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the cocoa powder and gluten-free flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in your favorite chocolate chips and butterscotch chips, or omit them if you prefer.

- Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
