Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

So I know this blog is supposed to be about finding & trying new recipes to COOK, but what can I say, I love to BAKE!  I tried a new recipe yesterday...I love peanut butter cookies (ok, most any cookie really!) & have been wanting to try this recipe for awhile.  I found it on www.weelicious.com, & only modified it slightly.

1/2 Cup Butter, softened
1/2 Cup Honey
1 Large Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Unbleached White Whole Wheat Flour
1 Cup Old Fashioned Oats
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Tsp Salt

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place the butter and honey in a bowl or a standing mixer and beat for 1 minute.
3. Add the egg, vanilla and peanut butter and beat another minute on medium speed or until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix to incorporate.
6. Drop 1 tbsp of the cookie dough onto a Silpat or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Flatten down each ball of cookie dough with the back of your hand or with the back of a fork making a checkerboard pattern.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
8. Cool and serve.

They came out pretty good, but are kinda dry.  It does taste like a "healthy" cookie.  But it is still a cookie.  I think I need to add more moisture, but I'm not quite sure what or how to do that yet.  I need to look into it.

The original recipe said it would make about 60 cookies, but I only got 30-something.  Maybe I made them too big.  I did have to cook them at least 15 minutes, instead of 10-12.

I do want to make them again, but plan to look up other peanut butter cookie recipes to see how much liquids are normally involved to see what I can/should add to make this taste even more yummy but still keep the healthy aspect.  :-)
