Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

1 ⅓ 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

⅓ cup white sugar

1 egg

⅓ cup brown sugar

Directions

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

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.

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.

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.

I used reduced-fat peanut butter in both crunchy and creamy to make for a rich-tasting cookie with more peanut flavor and a less greasy feeling on your hand.
