Sometimes, the only thing that will cure a case of the blahs is a face full of cookies. Instead of reaching for a store-bought option or frozen stick of raw dough (tempting, we know), try whipping up the super quick—and borderline healthy—peanut butter cookies from Justin My Kitchen ($20; shop.justins.com), the new collection of recipes from popular nut butter company Justin’s. The recipe calls for five simple ingredients and omits gluten, flour, and butter. Justin Gold, founder of Justin’s, shared this cookie recipe with InStyle on a visit to our office. Try it below.
