This whole wheat cookies recipe makes cookies a little healthier. The honey is a more natural sugar and gives the cookie a nice moist texture. The whole wheat flour gives it more nutrients and fiber while still tasting great and you get protein from the peanut butter. It puffs up when baked and has a nice cake-like-ness to it.
