What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Splurge-Worthy Goodness: Raw Honey Peanut Butter Cookies! No baking required. Wait, whaaat? These bite-size morsels are not only healthy as an energy snack, they can be made in a matter of minutes with ingredients you probably already have on hand in your pantry. So, what exactly is raw honey, you wonder. Most beekeepers will tell you it simply means the honey is strained right before it is bottled. That translates to nature’s sweetness with all its beneficial nutrients and antioxidants. By eliminating the intense processing stage of heat filtration, what you get instead is honey that comes from the bee hive to your home. No extra sugar is added either. To make sure you are getting raw honey, always check the label.
RAW HONEY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
Ingredients:
1/3 cup raw honey
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, creamy
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups whole grain oats
Sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions:
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Pour sprinkles into a dish. Set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine raw honey, creamy peanut butter, and vegetable oil. Microwave on High for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat. Add vanilla extract. Mix well. Add whole grain oats. Stir to incorporate until cookie dough forms a large ball. Using a cookie scoop, press dough to make bite-size uniform cookies. Dip into sprinkles. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cookies will “set up” on their own. Transfer to a covered container for storage.
Hmmm – I need to save this for a rainy day.

… Amazon Fresh failed to deliver a huge food order then cancelled it without notifying me.

I was FURIOUS! Their total response was, “Sorry. That must be frustrating.”, which made it even worse!
Added is the fact that the first time I ever used Fresh was to order a heat-and-serce Thanksgiving dinner for delivery the night before. They delivered pie and a loaf of bread. For hours they told me everything else was on the way. In fact, it was somehow sold out (despite my reservation) and had been cancelled. Thank gawd I wasn’t expecting guests!!
