Granola Bar Cookies

I'm a big fan of baking with whatever random items I happen to have in my kitchen. That's how this cookie recipe turned into this one! It's yummy AND full of protein and fiber.

Ingredients:

• 1-1/4 cups rolled oats
• 1/4 cup sugar (I used 1/8 cup white and 1/8 cup brown this time)
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 2 tbsp raisins
• 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• 2 tbsp chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a cookie sheet. Combine all ingredients well. Place "dough" on cookie sheet (make whatever size cookies you want). Bake for about 12 minutes. Cool and enjoy!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

My husband had a sweet tooth tonight, so I decided to make some quick and easy gluten free peanut butter cookies. I tried out this recipe from Delicious As It Looks. I didn't have any kisses, so I just used chocolate chips. They turned out really good and pretty dense. Tip: they get crispier on the edges as they cool. Wait to eat them if you can!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and chocolate chips. Roll into little balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes.
