These cookies are great, because I can tell myself that they're healthy.
No sugar!
They have oatmeal!
It's like a hearty breakfast!
Who cares if I lie to myself? Really though, they are healthy, as far as a cookie goes. They make a great little snack or breakfast if you want to earn "Cool Mom Points."
PB&J Oatmeal Thumbprint Cookies
Recipe from weelicious.com
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup agave nectar or honey
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
jam
 |
| Here's the lineup. Agave is pretty easy to find and it's a great (natural) substitute for sugar. |
 |
| Place butter and honey in a bowl and beat for one minute. |
 |
| Add the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter. Beat for one more minute on medium. |
 |
| Combine all the dry ingredients and mix. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix. |
 |
| Drop by 1 tablespoonful onto a Silpat or parchment paper lined cookie sheet. I use my ice cream scoop to get uniform sized cookies. |
 |
| Use your thumb (or the thumb of your assistant) to make an indentation in the center. |
 |
| Fill the indentation of each cookie with 1/2 teaspoon of the jam. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Warning!!! Be sure to enjoy these with a glass of milk! |
Me: 5 out of 5 stars. These are not too sweet, but sweet enough (and definitely peanut buttery enough!) to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Andy: 5 out of 5 stars. His favorite thing about them is also his least favorite thing about them. They're bite-sized so he just pops them right into his mouth. He definitely eats more than his share. ;)
Emma: It's a cookie. That's all she needs to hear and she's game.
