Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

These cookies are adapted from the cookbook "Healthy Treasures Cookbook" by Annette Reeder, I have made most of the items in her book and love it! I highly recommend it.  These cookies use all natural ingredients, with no refined flour or refined sugar. We had friends over for dinner on Saturday, so I wanted to make a special treat for them! Enjoy :)
