As I write this entry, we're less than a week away from Thanksgiving, so today I thought I'd share a relatively healthy cookie recipe that's generated a lot of positive comments over the years.
Apple Butter-Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup apple butter, preferably without sugar
1/2 cup natural style chunky peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup nonfat powdered milk
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt, if peanut butter has no salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
Prepare cookie sheet with oil or lecithin/oil. Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, beat apple butter, peanut butter, and vanilla. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the powdered milk, flour, salt, cinnamon and raisins. Add dry ingredients to apple butter mixture and mix well.
Drip by teaspoon onto prepared cookie sheet. Flatten with fork dipped in ice water, making a criss-cross pattern on top.
Bake at 350F for 10 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate until well chilled because doing so will intensify the peanut flavor. Oh, good!
Serve cold. These freeze well. This recipes makes 32 cookies.
Make plenty of these cookies because they'll go fast, holiday or not!
