Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies

Made some cookies today. A bit of a riff on the standard Peanut Butter Cookie. I used whole wheat flour instead of regular flour, and I added a chocolate chip on top. I halved most of the ingredients from a classic type recipe (Here's one at Simply Recipes), but these ones have a higher ration of egg and peanut butter, which gave these cookies a little more of a fluffiness than your usual pb cookie. They turned out really nice and light. Eli's had like, 4 in the last hour. I think that means they are tasty. :)

Yum!
