Last week I shared with you one of our favorite healthier peanut butter bars. More like a snack bar or breakfast bar and less like a dessert cake, those bars are great when you aren’t looking for anything with chocolate in it. But sometimes you want chocolate. Even better if peanut butter is involved.

So, I made a giant cookie that can satisfy your chocolate cookie craving without taking up your precious time or without eating lots of refined sugars and fats! White whole wheat flour, oats, honey, and an egg white make this delicious cookie lighter than your average cookies.

And it really is super easy. You don’t even need a mixer. Just whisk together the wet ingredients, whisk together the dry ingredients and stir the two together. Mix in the nuts and chocolate, press the dough into a pie plate, and bake!

Then try hard to wait until the cookie has cooled enough so you don’t burn your mouth! Pressing cookie dough into a pie plate and baking it is one of the best things I have done. The result is a thick, soft and chewy cookie that you can cut into big pieces! Or you can just grab a fork and dig in. No judging here!

we use peanut butter that needs to be stirred originally. will this type not work in this recipe?

The texture will be a bit different and the dough can be dryer (depending on the brand of pb) because of how it incorporates into the the rest of the ingredients. You can give it a try, just know that you may need to add a bit more moisture and the texture might look slightly different from what's pictured. It's hard to give consistent instructions using the peanut butter that needs to be stirred, because of how much it can change from brand to brand. That's why I usually call for the no-stir kind in my recipes.
