Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies (no refined sugar or white flour)

If you don't know it yet...I am a definite Cookie Monster! 

And sometimes I have to satisfy the cookie sweet tooth in my diabetic hubby too. This recipe was the perfect 'fit'. He really enjoyed these little gems. 

These great little cookies use crushed graham crackers for the 'flour'. They were easy to make and are on the 'healthier' side of sweets. 

This is another 'home run' recipe found at Diabetic Connect. I hope those of you who have to watch your sugar intake will enjoy these also. 

I made a double batch and ended up with 9 good sized cookies. 
I used 1 whole egg in the recipe instead of 2 egg yolks.
