There’s nothing quite as comforting as peanut butter cookies! Just the thought of sinking your teeth into the soft chewy edges of a freshly made peanut butter cookie is bliss!

This super easy recipe calls for only four ingredients. It’s so simple that even your inner child could easily handle it. And your inner child will fall in love with peanut butter all over again! It’s also a great recipe to make with your actual children — a healthy and delicious snack that anyone can make!

The dates in this recipe help provide that essential smooshy texture without any baking. Dates really are amazing for this. It also means you get a healthful dose of fruit built right into the cookie, along with the protein-filled nuts. You can also take it a step further if it suits you, with some raisins or maybe even a bit of chocolate!
