I made a healthier version of these cookies by using whole wheat flour and natural peanut butter. They were still delicious, and I felt better about indulging in them.

I've tried many peanut butter cookie recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The cookies are soft and chewy, with just the right amount of peanut butter flavor. The frosting is also amazing - it's smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet.
