Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
- 100 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 60 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg white
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and egg white. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined, forming a soft dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly using the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear slightly dry.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat peanut butter cookies with a glass of cold milk or as a quick snack!
