I absolutely adore this recipe for peanut butter cookies. I have been making it for years now and every time I serve it to someone new they go crazy over them, too.
These peanut butter cookies are healthier than most and are very filling. I don’t feel bad eating a few (or more than a few…) with a tall glass of raw milk and calling it “breakfast”.
This recipe is from The New Laurel’s Kitchen. I have made this recipe so many times that the book falls open to the page with the recipe for them on it!
- 1 Cup natural peanut butter
- 1 Cup honey
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 Cups whole wheat flour
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine peanut butter and honey thoroughly in a bowl.
- Stir in egg and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl mix salt, soda and flour. Mix thoroughly.
- Add dry ingredients to wet and mix well.
- Shape dough into small balls and lightly press down onto a greased cookie sheet with a fork.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies become slightly golden brown. (Note: Be careful to not over bake! Honey burns much more easily than sugar.)
If you like peanut butter, you will love these cookies. They are dense and delicious.They are perfect for taking on a hike, as a quick snack, or as dinner on an especially busy day!
I promise that once you make them once, you will make them again and again.
And your friends will want to know the recipe!
