Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These will be the last peanut butter chocolate chip recipe you try! Yumm. These taste really sinful, but they are actually healthy for you. I adapted this recipe from the classic nestle one. (shh...i think these are even better) they are very thick, soft, and chewy cookies and i promise you that no one will be able to eat just one. I hope you enjoy baking (and eating) these as much as i do.

Steps

Combine all-purpose flour , whole wheat flour , baking soda , cinnamon , and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.
Set aside.
Beat butters , sugars , applesauce , and honey on medium speed until creamy , about 3 minutes.
Beat in egg and vanilla.
Gradually beat in flour mixture , just until combined.
Scrape down bowl and stir in chocolate chips.
Set oven to 375f.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are set but centers are still soft.
Cookies should not be browning yet.
Optional: you can quickly chill dough or dropped cookie dough on baking sheets in the freezer 10-15 minutes before baking , for a thicker cookie.
You can also position oven racks to top and bottom thirds of oven.
Halfway through baking , rotate cookie sheet top to bottom and front to back.
