The Favorite Yummy Cookie

We had gathering with our congregation and some other friends on Mother's Day where we had ice tea, fruits, salad, and goodies. I brought my famous peanut butter cookies. These are not your normal peanut butter cookies though....they are actually good for you. Everyone that has them absolutely loves them and wants the recipe. I never go home with a cookie left in the can. I was asked by a dear friend of mine to post it on the blog so she and everyone could have the recipe. So, I am going to share it now. Just remember....a cookie tastes so much better when you sit down with your family and/or friends and really enjoy each other. Instead of taking time to smell the roses...take time to smell and taste the cookie. :)
By the way....these cookies get better with age. They kinda taste a bit dry, but good when you first make them but then after they sit over night or even longer, they get more moister because of the maple syrup. They are great!

Angela's famous peanut butter cookies

1 cup of margarine (I use Earth Balance. It has all the oils that are good for you)

1 cup of peanut butter ( Adams Peanut Butter has no sugar in it which is good if you are going the healthy route)

2 1/2 cups white rice flour

2 TBS. Stevia (Sweet Leaf Plus Stevia is the healthiest and no other sugars added)

1 cup of PURE maple syrup (don't get the man made kind)

2 TBS flax seed meal

6 TBS water

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. vanilla

In a mixing bowl beat margarine and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 of the flour, stevia...mix together. Then in the blender put the flax seed and water together. Blend it for a minute or two until it turns a whitish color and thickens a bit. Only after you thickened the flax seed and water, then add the maple syrup, baking soda, baking powder, and the vanilla...blend. Then pour the ingredients from the blender into the mixing bowl of the dry ingredients. Beat till thoroughly combined. Beat in remaining flour. Drop by rounded tsp. onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 7 minutes or until bottoms are slightly browned. Cool. Enjoy!
