School holidays sure make you busy! No matter what kids demand a lot of things to eat or should i say they eat a lot of unhealthy snacks at this time. So i opt to make healthier versions at home. these Big and Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies is adapted from Farenheit 350 i made a few changes in the recipe to make it more healthier because i have been baking a lot during the holidays so i didn’t want my kids to eat more sugar and plain flour.
Hot from the oven the first batch i didnt even get to see them lined up properly!! Both of them finished it with in minutes!
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup honey
Cream together until smooth
Add:
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
Whip together until light and fluffy
Stir in:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup ground flax seeds
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Drop spoonfuls or half spoonfuls as you want and bake for 7-9 mts at 180 C
If you are making crispy cookies bake longer. My kids like chewy ones so i dont bake them longer. Also if you are making big ones you might need to bake longer.
The first batch i made was chewy ones the second batch crispy which got burned a bit after baking longer! All the crispy ones are left now and i cant even find a chewy one to eat!
