For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking. If you prefer a softer cookie, slightly underbake them by a minute or two. For a crispier cookie, bake them a minute or two longer. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their soft texture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, and crunchy peanut butter until smooth and well combined. (3 minutes)
03
StepAdd the egg white and granulated sugar to the peanut butter mixture and beat until light and fluffy. (2 minutes)
04
StepIncorporate the whole egg and brown sugar, mixing until fully integrated and the batter is smooth. (2 minutes)
05
StepGradually add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
06
StepRoll the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place the balls on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (10 minutes)
07
StepUsing a fork, gently press down on each cookie ball to create a crosshatch pattern. (5 minutes)
08
StepPlace the baking sheets with the cookie dough in the freezer for 5-8 minutes to firm up. This helps prevent excessive spreading during baking. (8 minutes)
09
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cookies have puffed up and the edges are lightly golden. (15 minutes)
10
StepRemove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

Jun 30, 2025I was skeptical about the reduced-fat peanut butter, but these turned out great. No one could tell they were 'light'!
