I'm coming in late on this one. (Been away for a while. Back so I can
report on Croissants VI which are getting their final rise as we speak.)
I try to avoid arguments about what's healthy and what's not. For the
original poster, I think this recipe for peanut butter cookies is what
you're looking for. Don't be put off by the whole wheat flour and lack
of sugar. These are very peanutty and delightfully not too sweet.


Put in a blender and puree until smooth:


1 pound peanut butter- the unhomogenized sort from the health food store
2/3 cup plain oil, soy or corn are good
3/4 cup real maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)


Pour that into a bowl.
Then sift on top:


3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt


Combine well.


Form cookies by picking up a tablespoon of dough, rolling in your hands
into a ball, then flattening with a fork. Place on greased cookie
sheet. Bake at 350 degrees until browned at the edges, about 12
minutes. Allow them to cool on the sheet. They'll fall apart to
crumbliness if you don't.


Works with almond butter too.
