Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies


I made these whole wheat peanut butter cookies for a work bake off, which I didn't win. But I learned that these are not the desserts you want to serve when people are looking for sweets. They are best paired with a sweet treat like ice cream. I also liked them with a sweet cup of coffee in the morning.

What to gather:

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup not raw peanuts
How to make it:

  1. In a mixing bowl or mixer, beat egg, sugars and butter until fluffy.
  2. Add the peanut butter and vanilla to it and mix it in well.
  3. In another bowl, mix the whole wheat, flour, salt and baking soda.
  4. Stir in the flour mixture into the peanut butter batch.
  5. Add the peanuts.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour
  7. Preheat the oven to 350 degreees.
  8. Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture on to an ungreased cookie sheet.
  9. Bake 10 to 15 minutes.
  10. Serve with some ice cream!
