Recipe by MakeItHealthy I love peanut butter cookies but they are always a little greasy. I came up with this healthier version and it's a little less greasy. I love it!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 egg whites
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Beat butter, peanut butter, applesauce, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs and beat until smooth.
  3. Sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl; stir into peanut butter batter. Put batter in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  4. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
  5. Bake in preheated oven until cookies begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
