SKINNY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
We're always finding new ways to enjoy our favorite recipes. While we love indulging in classic peanut butter cookies, some days we would rather enjoy that same delicious taste with a better-for-you, low-calorie recipe instead! We substituted in a combination of whole wheat flour, honey, brown sugar, and vegetable oil so these low-calorie peanut butter cookies would stay sweet and chewy but have less fat and fewer calories than the original recipe. Don't worry, you don't need to tell anyone, just enjoy them for how delicious they look and taste!

Steps:

Tips:
- For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- To make the cookies even more decadent, add a drizzle of melted chocolate or peanut butter on top before baking.
- If you don't have any parchment paper, you can grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
- Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
