5-Ingredient Frosted Peanut Butter Cookies

My friend Carolyn made these delicious gluten-free peanut butter cookies and I was lucky enough to try one!  I was AMAZED!  They are so easy to make, so soft and chewy and unbelievably gluten-free!  I would say these are the best peanut butter cookies around!  I do like them with the frosting, but they are awesome without it as well!

Enjoy!

2 cups peanut butter
2 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla

16 ounces powdered sugar
6 tablespoons softened butter
3-4 tablespoons half and half
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt

NOTES:

~These freeze very well, even with the frosting!
