Ingredients

3/4 c whole spelt (or wheat) flower

3/4 c oats

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp soda

*****

1 c smooth peanut butter

1/2 c honey

1 egg

2 tsp vanilla

*****

2 - 3 ounces of dark chocolate - chopped (or 1/4 - 1/3 c)

2 - 3 Tbsp chopped candied orange peel - &/OR candied ginger -

OR 1/4 c chopped dried fruit like dates or apricots

1/4 c chopped pecans (optional)

*if you want these to look more like classic monster cookies, instead of the fruit above, add 1/3 c dark M&M's, or find natural candy-coated chocolate candies at the health food store - check the ingredients to make sure they don't contain the chemical food coloring that many are allergic to.

Directions

Mix wet and dry separately, then combine and mix well.

Mix in chocolate and fruit.

Drop heaping teaspoons of batter on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork if you like.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375 (350 if using dark or uninsulated pans, and/or if your oven is extra hot) for 8-12 minutes. They're ready when the edges are slightly browned - keep checking as honey browns fast.

This would be a great alternative to lots of sweets in a Hallowe'en bag!

I just found your list of "healthy" yummy goodies. Thank you for your research. When your Indian honey fudge is back, I'd like to know! thanks. and I am going to bake the honey almond macaroons. when I do cookies next, I'll use this monster cookie recipe. love the list of healthier choices rather than the big corporate "sludge". thanks lots, pattycake!!
