HEALTHY! Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

So Daniel's mother and sister are very into health foods and discovering the newest-greatest-healthiest food.
Somehow they came across this recipe.
I've been a little skeptical of some of the other recipes. I mean, c'mon, usually, healthy food (particularly healthy treats) are NOT very good at all.
But this one, this recipe is different.

These peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are the best I've ever had! Better than unhealthy cookies even!
Seriously!
I can not rave about these enough!
Daniel could eat a whole batch all by himself...and frankly, so could I!
