Missing the smell of homemade cookies?














Peanut Butter n' Honey Cheerio Cookies


This recipe makes about two dozen chewy little treats. Without butter or sugar, you can feel free to snack away at these healthy cookies that feature the most wonderful combo on earth: peanut butter and honey! The best part is that they are cooked in the microwave in just three minutes.


Ingredients:

¼ cup peanut butter

½ cup honey

¼ cup plain yogurt

1 egg

½ cup whole wheat flour

4 cups cheerios

½ cup raisins


Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey, yogurt, and egg.

2. Mix in the flour, and then the cheerios and raisins. Make sure that all the cheerios are well coated in the honey mixture.

3. With a wooden spoon, mash the mixture evenly onto a large microwave-safe plate. Press down firmly with the back of the spoon.

4. Microwave it on high for three minutes.

5. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes and then break off small chunks and smoosh them into balls. Place these balls onto another plate and flatten them to about half an inch thick.

6. Place the plate in the refrigerator and chill the cookies for at least half an hour.

7. Enjoy the cookies cold or heated slightly.


Hints:

· Feel free to add chocolate chips, peanuts, almonds, etc.

· If the cheerio mixture falls apart and is difficult to form into balls, make smaller cookies.

· Don’t be afraid to get your hands messy! It’s just part of the fun.
