I think everyone in our family loves peanut
butter (and thankfully, we have no allergies!) We all love a good peanut butter
cookie. This recipe is incredibly simple and fast, and the cookies have a melt-in-your-mouth
quality to them.
These cookies are great to make with kids! I
made them a couple of weeks ago when we
babysat over Memorial Day weekend. Kids are always amusing to have in the
kitchen. J
At one point, I turned around to catch the 3-year-old stuffing her face with
the dough. Just as I got her to stop, her older brother sneezed right into his
bowl of dough. :-P I took a deep breath, and kept going. It’s going to get
baked anyway! J
Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies
½ Cup peanut butter
¼ cup honey
2 Tablespoons oil
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
1 Cup whole wheat flour*
Preheat oven to
350°F. Mix ingredients. Roll into balls and flatten with fork on greased baking
sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Yield: 18 small cookies, or 10 medium cookies (medium cookies pictured above.)
* You can also
use white flour, or half white and half wheat. And we mix these by hand--no mixer needed.
We will have to try this recipe. Lindsey was upset with us the other day because she made a batch of peanut butter cookies and by bedtime they were gone :D
ReplyDeleteI really like the new picture of the family on the blog.

I know how Lindsey feels, Aunt Debbie! :-) It's hard to keep good food around long! I suppose she should take that as a compliment!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your compliment on our new picture! That was actually taken for our new church directory.
