Healthier Peanut Butter Cookie

Emma and Grace were in the mood to bake this evening. We decided on one of my old favorites-peanut butter cookies. We try to eat healthy but don't always measure up. Today, though, I tried my best to make the recipe a little better for us. The result was a cookie that was just as tasty and hopefully not as bad for us as the others.

Here's our recipe:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup organic brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 Tbsp milled flax

3Tbsp water

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/4 cups organic all-purpose flour

Cream the butter and peanut butter, then add dry ingredients. Next add flax, water and vanilla. Finally combine flour. Drop onto cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for about 9 minutes.
