How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies Healthier

Do you love peanut butter cookies, but hate all the fat and calories? Then it's time to rethink your favorite recipe. With just a few simple substitutions, you can turn your favorite peanut butter cookie recipe into a healthier treat.

Instructions

1. Choose an organic peanut butter. Organic peanut butter is much healthier than other brands on the market. Still, it has that great flavor that your kids have come to love.

2. Replace the sugar. You can now find wonderful sugar substitutes. These substitutes taste just like real sugar and come in different varieties that are great for baking cookies.

3. Add whole wheat flour. By replacing just half of the flour in your recipe with whole wheat flour, you can make your peanut butter cookies healthier. The whole wheat flour will add good carbs and more fiber.

4. Use an egg substitute. Eggs are filled with fat and cholesterol, but egg substitute is fat and cholesterol free.

Tips & Warnings

• If you want even healthier peanut butter cookies, you can make homemade peanut butter.

• Do not replace butter with margarine. Margarine is loaded with trans-fat.
