It’s has been super cold here in Dallas, and what makes me feel more warm and cozy than Cookies? Not much! I had a huge cookie craving the other night, but I didn’t want just chocolate chip! I wanted Peanut Butter and chocolate chip! So I toyed with my Chocolate Chip Recipe and this is what I came up with… My 5 year old son Ethan said “Mom these are super yummy!” and then ate 4! the best part is these cookies are sugar-free, and packed with protein, and healthy fat! So I zero guilt enjoying them and ZERO mom guilt for letting Ethan eat to his hearts content!
For those of us who are following Trim Healthy Mama these cookies are a Satifying or S snack/Dessert. If you haven’t checked out THM yet and would like to know more, I highly encourage you to go to their Web Page.

Is a serving just one cookie?
Absolutely! 🙂 I would add about 1/2 cup-1 Cup Ice in the blender and make them more like a milk shake!
I made this and my cookies turned out very dry and I couldn’t hardly swallow them due to dryness. They were not overdone on the bottom. I used Krema natural peanut butter which tends to be dry tasting like a lot of natural peanut butters. I am not sure if the peanut butter was the problem. Any suggestions for a moist cookie?
You could try subbing Coconut oil instead of peanut butter and just get your peanut taste from the flour itself 🙂
Can you freeze the balls and take some out (and make them) whenever you get a craving?
Yes ma’am! I actually have a batch in my freezer right now!
i just want to know what can you substitute for peanut butter. Allergies in the family. Thank you.
This is the original cookie recipe, if you have an allergy to peanut then this recipe may be better suited for your family http://sisteruglier.com/2014/07/sister-ugliers-best-cookies-ever/
The cookies look so yummy. I would like to make them today. I have all the ingredients, expect the Defatted P’nut Flour. What could I use instead? Thank you!!
you could also use 1/2 cup of coconut flour, however it will not give you the peanut buttery kick that the peanut flour will… if you are interested in purchasing the Defatted Peanut flour you can purchase it at http://www.trimhealthymama.com
bake at 350?
325–sorry will edit the post to reflect!
