      Peanut Butter Cookies

      Low Sodium Low Potassium Low Phosphorus Low Protein Vegetarian Diabetes-Friendly Heart Healthy No Shellfish American Dessert Snack

      Peanut Butter Cookies

      Low Sodium Low Potassium Low Phosphorus Low Protein Vegetarian Diabetes-Friendly Heart Healthy No Shellfish American Dessert Snack
      about 6 dozen cookies
      Prep time: 35 minutes
      Total time: 3 hours

      Description

      It’s quick and easy to mix together these slice-and-bake peanut butter cookies whenever you need something sweet. The recipe makes enough dough so you can bake half and put the other half in the freezer—ready to pull out and bake up a few fresh cookies anytime.

      Directions

      1. Whisk white whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
      2. Beat sugar, peanut butter, oil and butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high until smooth, scraping down the sides. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth, scraping down the sides. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
      3. Place half the dough on a large piece of plastic wrap and shape into a 10-inch log (it’s OK if it’s not perfectly round). Repeat with the remaining dough. Wrap and freeze until just firm, about 45 minutes. Reroll the logs to make them rounder and return to the freezer until very firm, at least 1 hour more.
      4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
      5. Remove one roll of dough at a time from the freezer and let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Unwrap the dough and slice crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, turning the dough a quarter turn after each slice to help keep the cookies round. Place 1/2 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. If your cookies aren’t as round as you want them to be, shape the dough with your fingers. Sprinkle each cookie with a little chopped peanuts and gently press into the cookie to help them adhere.
      6. Bake 8 minutes for soft cookies or 10 minutes for crisp cookies. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining roll of dough, if desired.

      Tips

      • Tip: White whole-wheat flour is made from hard white wheat berries, which makes it lighter in color and flavor than regular whole-wheat flour, but with the same nutritional properties. For the best flavor, store it airtight in the freezer.
      • To make ahead: Store wrapped rolls of dough in the freezer for up to 3 months.
