I know I already have a recipe for peanut butter cookies on my blog, but I found this one on Pinterest and it looked interesting. I love Pinterest, don’t you? I could waste so many hours looking at recipes. These peanut butter cookies are soft and delicious thanks to a secret ingredient. The original recipe came from texanerin.com, and I saw it on thenutritiontwins.com website. These cookies look naughty, but they are not as unhealthy as you would think. I thought this recipe was so good, I wanted to share it with you all.
These are grain free and they are really easy to make. My husband had like 5 of them when they first came out of the oven. I had to stop him so I had some to photograph!
If you are a visual person, check out the quick video below. It shows how easy these are to make.
So here is the recipe.
