Easy & Clean Peanut Butter Cookies

I love baking cookies at Christmas time.  However, this year I decided I wasn't going to bake as many batches as I used to in the past.  The sad part is the more cookies I have in the house, the less likely I am to resist temptation.  So it is just easier not to have them.

But, it is Christmas and I just can't not bake any cookies at all.  I went on the search and found this on Pinterest.  I thought, seriously peanut butter cookies with just 3 ingredients and none of the ingredients are flour, sugar, butter, or eggs - yeah right.

Yet again, I was proven wrong.  I love trying new recipes and finding out they really are good.  This is one of those that just goes to show, you don't need all those added ingredients to have a good cookie.  They are soft, chewy and have a great peanut butter flavor.

Peanut Butter Cookies - Simple & Easy!

Ingredients:
1 cp. All Natural Peanut Butter
1/3 cp. All Natural Honey

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix above ingredients in a mixing bowl with the mixer on medium speed.  Mix until just combined.
- Once mixed, drop a tablespoon of cookie dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place cookie sheet of cookies in the oven and bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges of the cookies begin to brown and look crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes.  Remove from baking sheet and allow to cool completely.

*If you wanted to get creative, swap out the peanut butter for almond butter or another nut butter of your choice and give that a try.
