Peanut Butter Cookies

Source: Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook

Ingredients: makes 24- 3 pts plus each

1/2 cup + 2 Tbl all-purpose flour

1/2 cup white whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

4 Tbl butter, softened

1/4 cup natural chunky peanut butter

1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup peanut butter chips

1. Preheat the oven to 350. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray.

2. Whisk together all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl. With electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and peanut butter in large bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture, beating just until blended. Stir in peanut butter chips. Drop dough by generous tablespoonfuls, about 1 inch apart, on prepared baking sheets, making total of 24 cookies. With back of fork, lightly press each cookie to form crisscross pattern.

3. Bake until cookies are browned on bottom, 12-15 minutes, rotating baking sheets after 6 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet on wire racks about 1 minute. With spatula, transfer cookies to racks and let cool completely.

Note- I didn't have any peanut butter chips so I just used chocolate chips and thought they turned out great. Enjoy!
