Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup reduced-fat creamy peanut butter (such as Jif)
  • ½ cup reduced-fat crunchy peanut butter (such as Jif)
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.

Step 2
Beat butter, creamy peanut butter, and crunchy peanut butter together in a large bowl until smooth. Beat egg white and white sugar into butter mixture until smooth. Add whole egg and brown sugar; continue to beat until smooth. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until batter is well mixed.

Step 3
Roll dough into 1 1/4-inch balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Press balls with a fork creating a crosshatch. Freeze cookie dough on baking sheet until dough is firm, 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies puff up, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips

Cookies will store and remain soft for 10 days in an airtight container.
