Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Whole Wheat Honey Peanut Butter Cookies.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper or give it a light spray of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, sweet honey, and rich brown sugar.
Step 4
Using an electric mixer, beat these ingredients together until they form a smooth, creamy blend that smells heavenly.
Step 5
Next, add in some Greek yogurt, a fresh egg, and a splash of vanilla extract.
Step 6
Mix everything together until it’s all beautifully combined, creating a luscious batter.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to introduce whole wheat flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to the mix.
Step 8
Stir gently until the dough comes together, ensuring all the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 9
To help the dough firm up, pop it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes—this little chill will make it easier to handle.
Step 10
Once your dough is nice and chilled, scoop out about a tablespoon of it and roll it into a ball.
Step 11
Place these delightful cookie balls on your prepared cookie sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each one.
Step 12
For a classic touch, take a fork and gently press down on each ball to create a charming criss-cross pattern on top.
Step 13
Now, it’s time to bake! Slide the cookie sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are firm and just lightly browned.
Step 14
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a batch of delicious cookies ready to enjoy!.
