    Day 3 is a healthy cookie (if there is such a thing) - diabetic friendly too!  I know it's hard to find things to include for our friends with dietary challenges.  These won't make them feel too guilty.

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
    This soft and chewy low-carb cookie recipe, developed by our Test Kitchen, calls for canola oil instead of butter to reduce the saturated fat. It's hard to eat just one!
    48 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 25 min.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup chunky peanut butter
    • 1/4 cup canola oil
    • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips

    Directions

    • In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, oil and sugars until
    • blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking
    • soda and salt; gradually add to peanut butter mixture just until
    • blended (dough will be sticky). Stir in chocolate chips.
    • Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
    • Flatten slightly with a glass.
    • Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until set and tops are cracked.
    • Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks. Yield: 4 dozen.

    Re: 25 Days of Cookie Recipes
    All look tasty!!! The recipe with Dixie Crystal sugar makes me chuckle....on so many sites I visit the replies are to funny sometimes. "Do I have to use Dixie sugar or will any sugar brand do?" Or Daisy sour cream sponsors a recipe and some knuckle heads ask if they have to use that brand. LOL
