These low-calorie peanut butter cookies now get rave reviews after many trial-and-error batches. They are rich and soft for those who may not like the typical crunchy-style peanut butter cookies. They do take a bit of time to prepare and cook but are worth the wait.
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.
