I just tried this yummy yummy recipe from Better Homes and Gardens, The Cookbook. They are super delicious and I can 't stop eating them. So if you have no self control, DO NOT MAKE THESE! (p.s. I added 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips to the recipe when I made them.)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar or 1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1. Beat butter and peanut butter with and electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and baking powder. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour. If necessary, cover and chill dough until easy to handle.
2. Preheat oven to 375*F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in additional granulated sugar to coat. Place balls 2 inched apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten by making crisscross marks with the tines of a fork. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

So you can see they are really good for you. THEY HAVE 2 GRAMS OF PROTEIN! Have fun! =)

I think Adam will be your best friend for these. He hates chocolate so anything that I can bake that isn't chocolate he will definitely love. Thanks! Shay is so lucky to have you baking things all the time, you little wife, you!
