Light and Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat creamy peanut butter (such as Jif)
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat crunchy peanut butter (such as (Jif)
• 1 egg white
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup brown sugar

Directions

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.
