Coconut Oil Peanut Butter Cookies
"You’re never too old to enjoy a classic peanut butter cookie. We think our recipe for coconut oil peanut butter cookies is even better than the kind we grew up with. Adding organic extra virgin coconut oil adds healthy nutrients such as essential fatty acids, healthful lauric acid and disease-fighting antioxidants. But healthy doesn’t matter that much if a food doesn’t taste good, right? The fresh, slightly floral and nutty flavor of high-quality organic extra virgin coconut oil makes the humble peanut butter cookie a thing of wonder. Enjoy them after school, after a horrible day at work or just because you love peanut butter—and who doesn’t. Whatever the reason, keep a batch of these protein-packed coconut oil peanut butter cookies around to make the day better."
