STEPS
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Sift all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
Sifting dry ingredients ensures a light and uniform texture in your cookies.π
Beat unsalted 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 the sifted all-purpose flour mixture into the butter mixture until the batter is well mixed.
Ensure butter and peanut butter are at room temperature for easier and smoother mixing.π
Roll 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.
Freezing the dough briefly helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents excessive spreading during baking.π
Bake in the preheated oven until cookies puff up, about 15 minutes. Cool on the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
Allowing cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a short period prevents them from breaking when transferred.π
π‘ Tips
For a richer flavor, use full-fat peanut butter and butter, adjusting calorie expectations.These cookies are excellent for meal prep; they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or the dough balls can be frozen for future baking.If you prefer crunchier cookies, bake them for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
