Peanut Butter Flax Cookies

Another baby-approved cookie recipe here!  I am so glad to feed my daughter these home-made cookies, knowing that she is actually getting some good nutrition.  Peanuts contain B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, zinc, copper and manganese.  That's a lot of yummy goodness!

Peanut Butter Flax Cookies

1/2 cup unsalted organic butter, softened
1/4 cup coconut oil, softened
1/2 cup natural peanut butter, softened
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup ground natural peanuts
(tip:  grind peanuts in a blender, but not for too long or they will become a paste)
2 free-range eggs
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup ground or whole flaxseed
(tip:  grind whole flaxseed with a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda

Blend together the butter, coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, honey and peanuts.  Add eggs and blend with a mixer. 

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt and baking soda.

Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and drop onto a baking sheet.  Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F for about ten minutes.

Makes about 28 cookies.
