Peanut Butter Honey Cookies
I have a new baking love. Whole wheat pastry flour! Have you ever used it in your baking? I just made these fabulous Peanut butter honey cookies this weekend using it and, wow, how yummy!!
Whole wheat pastry flour is made from soft white wheat instead of the hard red wheat that regular whole wheat flour is milled from. It has less lower protein (3 grams of protein per serving) than regular whole wheat flour but still a great source fiber to get in your baking.
It’s a wonderful way to add a little more nutrition into your yummy baking without the dense, heaviness regular whole wheat flour can tend to turn out. (everything except breads that is. It does not do well with recipes that use yeast) And boy, does it make for fluffy cookies!!
I have said before, anything that gets the “devour” factor from hubby make me happy, happy, happy. He literally stood at the counter saying “I can’t stop eating these.” Score!!

Sorry, , but these were the worst cookies I ever made…I actually threw the whole batch out. Tasteless and dry.

These are just amazing. I baked these primarily because they don’t need sugar or any fancy ingredient that’s not available easily here in India. They taste so good that one batch gets cleaned up in minutes. And one can enjoy them guilt free!!

Oh yum! Peanut butter cookies are actually my favorite to make, but I don’t make them too often because the hubby prefers chocolate chip! 😉 I’m sure the honey adds a great taste and gets rid of some of the artificial ingredients. Thanks for sharing!
