Peanut Butter, Banana and Honey Cookies

Tuesday, October 19, 2010


If you have been following our blog, you have probably noticed our love for peanut butter.  In my opinion, there is nothing better than a banana with peanut butter.  I can't believe I didn't think of making this cookie sooner!  They are delicious -- and the peanut butter honey glaze takes them to a whole new level.


A few other peanut butter recipes you might enjoy:

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies -- The BEST cookie combo in my opinion.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars -- This is how peanut butter and jelly should be done.
