This is just a little recipe I discovered while trying to make a peanut butter cookie less guilt tripping. The honey is a more natural sugar and gives the cookie a nice moist texture. The whole wheat flour gives it more nutrients and fiber while still tasting great and you get protein from the peanut butter. It puffs up when baked and has a nice cake-like-ness to it. It is also a great dough for chocolate kiss thumbprints.

Slowly mix in the dry ingredients. Add the chocolate chips. Form your cookies (you can just roll them around in your hand) and put them on a greased (non stick spray works well…) cookie sheet. Then pop them in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
