  • 115 g salted butter, softened
  • 255 g crunchy peanut butter
  • 120 ml brown-sugar baking blend, a product formulated as a partial sugar substitute
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g whole egg, 2 large eggs

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190°C and line two baking sheets.
  2. Beat the softened butter, peanut butter, brown-style baking blend and sugar until creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  3. Whisk the whole-wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt separately, then mix into the peanut-butter mixture just until no dry flour remains.
  4. Portion into 48 balls of about 22 g, place 5 cm apart and flatten each with a fork in a crosshatch pattern.
  5. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until the edges are set. Cool for 5 minutes on the trays, then transfer to a rack.

Notes

  • This uses both sugar and a brown-style baking blend; it is reduced-sugar, not sugar-free.
  • Baking blends are not interchangeable with concentrated sweetener drops or powders. Follow the package equivalence for a half cup of brown sugar.
  • Whole-wheat flour absorbs slowly. Let a dry-looking dough stand for 3 minutes before adding any liquid.
  • Contains peanuts, dairy, egg and wheat.
