Recipe: Everything but the Flour Cookies

I needed a good name for these good cookies. You know that phrase "everything but the kitchen sink"? Well these cookies are Everything but the Flour. Actually they are Everything but the Flour and Sugar, but that didn't quite have the same ring to it. Besides, there is honey to sweeten. Anyway, these cookies are really easy and quick to make!

Ingredients:
1 c. peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1/4 c. honey
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pinch salt
1 egg
1 c. rolled oats
1 c. chocolate chunks (optional)


First, chop one 3-oz. chocolate bar into small chunks. One bar makes about one cup of chunks. The reason I use bars instead of chocolate chips is because I can't find any chocolate chips without soy lecithin. I've found that many chocolate bars have a clean ingredient list.


In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, honey, baking soda, vanilla, and salt.


Add in the egg and combine.


Gently stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chunks.


Take a scoop of dough and roll it into a ball. This batch makes about 20 cookies, depending on size.



Bake in a 350° oven for 10 minutes. The cookies will turn golden brown. Remove from oven and cool.


These are really soft and chewy, and very delicious! Enjoy!

  2. I think I might try this with raisins instead of chocolate. Although it won't taste as good as chocolate, I hope it will satisfy my sweet tooth!
