EASY TASTY HEALTHY (ISH) FLOURLESS 2 WAY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Easy Tasty Healthy (Ish) Flourless 2 Way Peanut Butter Cookies image

These are great and so simple you'll want to make them again and again. Adding the oats will give you a denser texture and make the cookies slightly more filling and you can serve them warm after they have half cooled. I do urge you to try them without the oats, they have an amazing light crumbly texture and a more concentrated flavour. In this case you must wait for the cookies to cool completely before removing them from the tray.

  • Mix everything together adding the egg last.
  • Roll into balls and flatten with a fork on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper leaving enough room for cookies to expand, you may have to do this in 2 batches.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes checking after 5 to make sure cookies do not burn.
  • Allow to cool on the tray, then serve.

HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER & HONEY COOKIES



Healthy Peanut Butter & Honey Cookies image

Really quick to make, but you need a food processor. A very healthy cookie, so you won't feel bad going back for seconds or thirds! You can also make these cookies gluten-free by replacing the whole wheat flour with 1 cup brown rice flour and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. From the Bracketts 7 Secrets Cookbook to lose weight, lower cholesterol, and reverse diabetes.

Time 25m

Yield 20 cookies, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or 1 cup oats
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon salt (omit if peanuts are already salted)

Steps:

  • Place peanuts and flour in a food processor and whiz for about 1 minute until nuts and flour are about the same texture.
  • Microwave honey. This is a critical step. The honey is the liquid in the recipe. It needs to pour like water or the mix will seem dry and if too much water is added, the cookies will be tough.
  • Place flour-and-nut mixture in a mixing bowl and add the salt if the peanuts are not already salted. Mix in the honey and vanilla. Stir together and then mix with your hands. (If your food processor is large enough, you can mix the honey and vanilla in the processor. Turn on briefly to mix.).
  • Note: The dough should hold together without being dry and crumbly. If needed, add a tablespoon of water, but be careful not to get it so wet that it sticks to your hands. It should be like piecrust. If it is too dry, the cookies will crumble and not hold together, but if too wet, they will be hard to handle and the baked cookies will be hard. A little extra flour can be worked in if the dough is too sticky!
  • Pinch off pieces of dough and roll into balls the size of walnuts. Place on a cookie sheet and press flat with hands. Then press flatter with fork, dipping the fork in water as needed to keep it from sticking to the dough (or use a plastic fork - it won't stick even if dry, but will break unless you press on the tines).
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes. Watch them carefully. They are done when just beginning to brown on the edges. I can think of nothing that burns so easily as peanut butter cookies, so take them out before it looks like they're done!
  • Let them cool on the cookie sheet before removing.

HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These will be THE LAST peanut butter chocolate chip recipe you try! YUMM. These taste really sinful, but they are actually healthy for you. I adapted this recipe from the classic nestle one. (shh...I think these are even BETTER) They are very thick, soft, and chewy cookies and I promise you that NO ONE will be able to eat just one. I hope you enjoy baking (and eating) these as much as I do.

  • Gradually beat in flour mixture, just until combined.
  • Scrape down bowl (for flour buildup on the sides) and stir in chocolate chips.
  • Set OVEN to 375ºF (If using dark or nonstick pan, lower temperature to 350ºF).
  • Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are set but centers are still soft; cookies should NOT be browning yet.
  • *optional: You can quickly chill dough or dropped cookie dough on baking sheets in the freezer 10-15 minutes before baking, for a thicker cookie.
  • You can also position oven racks to top and bottom thirds of oven; halfway through baking, rotate cookie sheet top to bottom and front to back.
