recipe~ Yummy Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies

This is an old post from my family private blog... sorry if you have seen this before!
Made YUMMY HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!

This recipe comes from the Amazing Wheat Book
by LeArta Moulton
( It's a great book, we use it all the time)
!!!!With a few updates, and variations at the bottom!!!!
1/2 C veggie oil (we use olive or grapeseed)
1 C Honey
(we use 1/2 ish cup honey, and 1/2 ish cup raw cane sugar
if you use only honey, they taste great, but don't hold a shape)
1/2 C peanut butter
1 egg, beaten
1 T. sour cream
1 tsp. bkg soda
1 1/2 C whole wheat flour


cream oil and honey/sugar. Add peanut butter, egg and mix well. Add sour cream, soda, and flour and beat well. Form into balls, (sometimes we roll them in additional cane sugar!!) about the size of a larger bouncy ball (she said marble, but we like them alittle bigger) place on greased cookie sheet. Press with a fork. Bake at 350 for 10 mins.
Don't overcook, or they are nasty!


We ALWAYS atleast double this, they are so good, chewy, and yummy. We eat them in a few days. So we try to make the mess less times and make more!!
Again Healthy might be a stretch, but healthier!

Oh, and I might next time add more peanut butter, to get a stronger peanut butter taste!

We have been using either grapeseed or coconut oil in these. We prefer the taste. We also are using a combination of Spelt, Brown Rice Four, and Whole Wheat Pastry Four. And adding a little more than the recipe calls for. The addition of Br. Rice and Spelt, helps them raise and hold their shape better. Sometimes, when I have golden syrup I use that too, it has an almost caramel flavor. Molasses is another great addition! Oh and we do add extra Peanut Butter!

Sugar, oh sugar!!!

okay so as i have stated, we don't eat sugar. This being said, we do eat natural cane {also known as turbinado} sugar, honey, stevia and agava. I do try to limit this. I figure to some degree sugar is sugar, and not good, even in it's natural state. I don't want to get into a "sugar fight" with anyone! So all I am going to say, is it's quite common knowledge that sugar isn't good for you. I am a sugar lover! Always have been, I'm sure. I have a very, very, very sweet tooth. Sugar was hard for me to give up. Which is why I am so thankful for so many natural sweeteners! The reason we stopped, was knowledge, we started studying sugar, and learning about it, and we had to stop. As for our family, we had to give it up all or nothing, we are a cold turkey kind of family!!! We have tried to give up sugar, oh I don't know around 100 times!!! This time it finally stuck. The more I read, the more I study the more I am so thankful for that decision. So how di

and that's why we don't eat sugar.....
