This is one of my favorite cookie recipes. It is made with honey, natural peanut butter, and whole wheat flour and is therefore a little bit more nutritious than the typical cookie.
Have I told you that I love peanut butter? Because I do. I really, really do.
The natural variety of course.
I am not talking about the pornographic kind. (To my sisters: No, I am never going to let that one die. But even though you make fun of me behind my back, I still love you!)
I am talking about peanuts, ground up into peanut butter.
Hmmmm....
I love this cookie recipe. It is one of my favorites and I can usually eat them with little guilt involved as long as I have plenty of people to share them with lest I eat all of them myself! They are so moist- they melt in your mouth. They are addictive.
You have been warned.
Peanut Butter Cookies
3/4 cups softened butter
1 1/3 cups honey
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter (that means no added sugar etc, kids!)
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Beat the butter, honey, eggs, and peanut butter together. Combine flour, soda, and salt. Mix into the cream mixture. Scoop tablespoon size balls onto cookie sheets and press lightly with a fork using a criss cross pattern. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes. Cool and eat and be happy!

So are you saying we can't bring our peanut butter to your house this summer? It's not that I particularly have anything against natural peanut butter except that it is too expensive, my family won't eat it, and until you get used to it the taste is pretty awful. Otherwise, I totally love it. I bet the cookies are great. I nominate that you make them and some of that Artisan bread for family reunion.
ReplyDeleterachel - you can get cheap natural peanut butter at trader joes - do they have one where you are?
ReplyDeleteI don't make fun of you behind your back. I just feel ashamed every time I eat my Jif. I hate natural peanut butter. I think it's absolutely disgusting. But that is probably because I am beyond addicted to sugar. And all other foods that are bad for me. :)
ReplyDeleteTo my sisters: I still love you even though you hate Natural Peanut Butter which baffles me, but still I love you.Did I happen to mention that I still love you?
