In my quest to cook healthier my main goal it to use more whole wheat. Some things may not be very healthier, but I am still trying to include whole wheat in the recipe.
These Peanut Butter Cookies are a good example of that. They are not necessarily healthy in fact they have 1 cup of shortening in them, but they turned out very good. My kids had no trouble eating these up.

- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar

- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
