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!

LOW CALORIE AND FABULOUS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
I found this recipe in a Low Calorie cookbook that was written before Low Calorie was truly en vogue. I made these cookies last weekend and the whole family LOVED them. They stay soft, but are best right out of the oven. (They won't stay around long anyway!)
