Healthiest Peanut Butter Cookies are sweet, crunchy and delicious. This classic is turned up a notch with a little chocolate too.
I do believe this is the Healthiest Peanut Butter Cookies recipe I have seen. Peanut buttery, sweet, crunchy and delicious. Ed has become cookie obsessed. He wants me to keep them in stock at all times.
Now, he is actually a very healthy eater and in great shape which brings me to the fact that he does not eat the cookies. Maybe four or six out of 3 or 4 dozen. The rascal.
I really don’t mind and I give a lot away which makes the neighbors very happy. It challenges me to think up new recipes. Hey, maybe that is his whole idea. Did I mention there is a little chocolate too. The classic has been turned up a notch.

If I substituted avocado for some of the butter do you think they would still turn out?
Ginny McMeans says
Yes, I think that would work just fine. Maybe go half and half to start with.
