Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

I found a recipe for sugar-free, carb-free peanut butter cookies!! - but it had sugar substitutes (which I don't like), so I tweaked it just a little bit. Instead of Splenda I used honey, and I added oats to make them a little thicker. These are healthier than the normal, sugar-packed cookies you buy or make at home. The peanut butter I used does have a little bit of sugar in it, but I really want to try making my own or getting natural peanut butter. Here we go!

1 cup of peanut butter

1 large egg

1 to 2 tablespoons of honey (raw, natural, etc.)

1/4 cup of rolled oats*

 

*These are not the quick microwave oats, make sure they are rolled oats. Also, I never measure stuff when I'm experimenting, so just eyeball it. ;)

 

 First, pre-heat your oven to 350 F. Mix the peanut butter and egg together in a bowl. Then, depending on your preference, add honey (this is to sweeten the cookies, there isn't a dominant honey flavor). Once that's mixed in, add a handful of oats, give or take. Line a baking sheet with tin foil, and press a spoonful of dough into a thin circle. (They have to be pressed thin to cook through.) Repeat until pan is full; cook for 7-8 minutes. The cookies will be kinda doughy until they cool down. This recipe made 12 cookies last time I made it.
