Light and Soft Peanut Butter Cookies image

I never liked how peanut butter cookies turned out. They were always too greasy-feeling or too hard and never were soft a few days later. After a lot of trial and error batches, now I get rave reviews from these cookies. They are very rich and soft for those who do not like the typical crunchy style of peanut butter cookies. They do take a bit of time to prepare and cook but very much worth the wait. 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.

Time 1h35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

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

Steps:

  • Preheat 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 the 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 in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

I love that these cookies are made with whole wheat flour. It makes them a little healthier than traditional peanut butter cookies.

I've tried many peanut butter cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
