I haven't tried these yet..next week.

This recipe is from a friend. It sounds super yummy to me. I don't have any whole wheat flour or I'd make them right now.

Wet ingredients...
...1/2 cup of peanut butter (i used crunchy)
1/2 to 2/3 cup of honey (depends on how sweet you want them)
1 egg
You can add a touch of vanilla if you want

Dry Ingredients...
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup quick oats
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Makes about 24 decent sized cookies....

On an un-greased pan or foil drop teaspoons full and press flat...A fork does not matter because these rise and have a softer consistency...

You notice no fat added other than the peanut butter (the honey makes them plenty moist)

Depending on your oven, bake between 350-375 for 10-12
I actually did it in the toaster oven eight at a time because I did not feel like waiting for the oven to heat up...lol

ENJOY!
