Recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie

Go ahead. Eat the cookie. Enjoy every bite. Part of good nutrition means being satisfied.

Ingredients:

1 stick butter

3/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 egg

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Chocolate chips as desired!

Directions:

1.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2.) If I'm being honest, I just mix all the ingredients together at once. I know baking is scientific and all, but I just like to get the ball rolling (pun intended!)

3.) Grease cookie sheet. I like to shape dough into balls and then flatten with a fork. The crisscross pattern is just classic.

4.) Bake at 375°F until light brown, about 9 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool in their baking sheets before transferring.

* Note: For chewier cookies, bake at 300°F for 15 minutes!
