This recipe looks delish! Just curious why one cookie is 2 teaspoons instead of 3 teaspoons? (48 tsp in one cup: (24 tsp pb + 12 tsp honey) / 12 = 3)

  Honey is not one of your oil teaspoons, Suzy. It’s a special teaspoon from page 15. You can have up to 4 teaspoons of sweetener daily.

      You can try it, Adriana! I’d probably do maple syrup over agave. It’s thicker.

I tried this recipe last night with agave honey and a tbsp of coconut oil. It’s delicious!
I didn’t see the “limit to one cookie a day” part until it was too late. I had 3 cookies in one sitting – – although I shaped them into bite size tsp cookies to be exact. Now I have to get that extra work out in!

Just curious why is it only equal to 2 Tsp. I know you added an egg. Wouldn’t that be 1/2 red also?

  December 30, 2015 at 1:51 am
  One egg is 1/2 red. This is 1/2 red divided into 12 cookies, so not enough to count per serving. It would be 0.04 red per serving — don’t you dare track nitty gritty decimals like that! 🙂

Just made these. Used maple syrup instead of honey on a 1:1 ratio so I didn’t add anything extra (some websites state to add sugar when you replace honey with maple syrup- but it’s not needed). Added a dash of Saigon cinnamon and 1 tsp of vanilla. Baked for 7 minutes and then checked and it only needed one more minute. Since all ovens are diff, be on the safe side and check before hitting 15 min. Batter was yummy, cookies were amazing. Awesome!!! Thanks for the recipe.

So, I made these last night, and added 1/4 of steel cut oats. Oh Em Gee! And since it works out to like 1/6 of a yellow, according to Autumn anyways, it doesn’t change the container count at all. Only baked them for about 10 mins. They were AMAZING!!!

OMFG. Amazing! Added a little cocoa, because chocolate and PB need to go together. Probably not 21 day fix approved, I’m sure, but oh well. I’m making these all the time now.
