These Peanut Butter Cookies are made without sugar but with honey instead for a wonderful healthier version. They are quick to make in less than 20 minutes!

The ingredients for these Peanut Butter Cookies are pretty basic: flour, peanut butter, honey, egg, butter, vanilla extract, and a little salt and baking soda. This recipe will make a batch of 24 cookies that are simply the best soft, chewy cookie!

I used Whole Wheat Pastry Flour in this recipe. 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’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!!

If you prefer to use all-purpose flour it is absolutely fine too.

Make these cookies is as simple as it gets. I do like to line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the cookies don’t stick. You can spray the cookie sheet with oil as well.

Scoop about 2 TBSP of a ball of dough and place on baking sheet about 1 inch apart and the do he traditional flattening of each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern on each. They only take about 10-12 minutes to bake and you’re ready to dive in!

    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!
