ANOTHER HEALTHY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE
I have adapted my original healthy peanut butter cookie on this site, Healthy Peanut Butter & Honey Cookies Recipe #251315, to make a softer cookie and thought I would post what has become my more commonly made peanut butter cookie. It is not a really sweet cookie, but my children still really enjoy this healthy treat. I hope you enjoy it!

Steps:
- Blend dry ingredients up in a food processor.
- Mix together peanut butter, applesauce, and honey or agave nectar in a bowl. Once the wet ingredients are mixed well, add the dry ingredients and mix together. I usually finish by mixing with my hands.
- Form small balls and set them on a cookie sheet after spraying it with a nonstick spray. Use a fork to press down on the ball to flatten the cookies. Bake in an oven for 10 minutes only at 350 degrees. Remember that peanut butter cookie's burn easily so you need to take them out right away even if they don't look done, because by the time they are brown on top they are usually burnt on the bottom.
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect texture, use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar. Granulated sugar provides a crispy texture, while brown sugar adds moisture and chewiness.
- To ensure the cookies stay soft and moist, use creamy peanut butter. Avoid using natural peanut butter as it tends to be drier and can result in a crumbly cookie.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling helps the dough set and prevents the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- For a gooey center, press a peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie before baking. You can also sprinkle some chopped peanuts or chocolate chips on top of the cookies for added flavor and texture.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Overbaking will result in dry and crumbly cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This allows the cookies to firm up and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies is a delicious and nutritious treat that is perfect for any occasion.
