Proof that Peanut Butter Cookies Can Be Healthy

I don’t know about you, but I love anything with peanut butter. It’s a great source of protein, it’s a healthy fat and it tastes delicious. 

The thing I like about peanut butter is that while you’re enjoying it, it makes you feel full. This prevents you from overeating. And that comes in pretty handy, especially when you’re eating these scrumptious peanut butter cookies from Laura Hamby.
