I have been craving peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for weeks now...and after much searching I found a recipe on good ol' Pinterest that helped cure my craving, but didn't totally ruin my healthful lifestyle.
This recipe was adapted from http://www.thefrugalfoodiemama.com .
4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
3 tbsp evoo
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup of all-natural peanut butter
1 egg
1/4 cup plain fat free Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour
1/2 whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups of whole oats
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, oil, brown sugar, and honey. Add in the peanut butter, egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
3. Mix in your oats, white flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt one at a time until combined.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips. (Go ahead, take a taste, I won't tell anybody!)
5. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes.
6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. *It is important to do this because they are ooey gooey! If you transfer too quickly they will break apart.
Since I will not eat these cookies all in the next week, I kept a few out in a zip lock bag, and stored the rest in the freezer in an air tight freezer bag. I love taking one out at a time and warming!
Enjoy!
