How to Make Homemade Tagalongs

Tagalongs consist of a shortbread cookie base, peanut butter filling, and chocolate coating. To keep the shortbread cookie base gluten-free, we used a combination of almond flour (for classic cookie flavor and texture), oat flour (because it’s hearty and slightly sweet), and tapioca flour (to lighten them up and help them crisp). Baking soda provides the leavening and sea salt enhances the flavors. Coconut oil helps them get crispy, while maple syrup adds a hint of natural sweetness. The peanut butter filling is a simple combination of a smooth salted peanut butter and a little bit of maple syrup. The mix of the two creates a drippy consistency that goes on top of the crisp shortbread cookie for the perfect contrast of textures. Lastly, it’s coated with a mixture of melted semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil for a perfectly sweetened, melt-in-your-mouth, chocolaty coating!
