Choco–Peanut Butter Cookies: Submitted by: Kimmo Vallema | Date Added: 20 Dec 2020 Ingredients:

1/3 cup (65 g) Sucanat or brown sugar

1/3 cup (65 g) sugar or xylitol

1/3 cup (75 g) butter, softened

2/3 cup (175 g) natural peanut butter, no sugar added

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup (95 g) unbleached flour

1/2 cup (40 g) quick-cooking oats

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (88 g) dark chocolate chips, optional

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C, or gas mark 5).

Combine the Sucanat, sugar, and butter in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add the peanut butter and beat until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to incorporate.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix by hand until incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips. Make 1 1/2-inch (3.8-cm) balls and arrange on a nonstick cookie sheet (or use a regular baking sheet lined with parchment paper). Moisten a fork with water and flatten the cookies slightly with a crisscross pattern. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or to desired doneness.
