Healthy Peanut Butter Walnut Cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups natural organic unsweetened peanut butter
2 cups dates (no pits)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 / 2 cup walnut pieces (chopped in to small pieces)
2 squares pure unsweetened chocolate (chopped in to small pieces)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a high powered blender ( I use my Ninja) puree the dates with the eggs and vanilla. Then add the salt and baking soda. In a bowl combine the peanut butter with the wet mixture from the blender or Ninja and mix until well blended. Add in the chocolate and the walnuts. Prepare a large cookie sheet that is covered with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon to grab the cookie dough and form into a small ball. Place the ball on the cookie sheet and flatten with a fork. Repeat until all the dough is used up leaving a few inches between cookies. Bake 10 minutes or until golden. Remove baked cookies from cookie sheet and place on racks to cool. Enjoy. By Carol Johns
