Recipe of the Week – Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies

Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies

A healthier version of the famous peanut butter cookie that is just as delicious! 

What You Need:

• 1 cup peanut butter (I used creamy)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp ground oats, measure after grinding*
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
2. Scoop dough (approx. 1 1/2 tbsp per cookie) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Flatten the tops of the cookies using a flat surface like the bottom of a glass, You shouldn’t need to spray the glass with cooking spray, but do so if the flattened cookies are tough to remove from the bottom.
4. Using the tines of a fork, lightly press a crisscross pattern into the top if you like.
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until bottoms of cookies have browned and cookies have set some. They will continue to harden as they cool. Let cookies cool for a few minutes on baking sheet, and then transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Enjoy!!
