Healthiest Peanut Butter Cookies

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 give a lot away which makes the neighbors very happy. I really don’t mind because 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.
