The Perfect Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Now that you know why Truvia® Baking Blend is the way to go, let’s get into the recipe for these delectable peanut butter cookies.

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and 1/2 cup of Truvia® Baking Blend. Add in 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on each cookie, gently pressing down to flatten them slightly.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoying Your Peanut Butter Cookies

Once your peanut butter cookies are cooled, it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. These cookies are a perfect treat for any occasion. Whether you’re enjoying them with a glass of milk or sharing them with friends and family, they are sure to be a hit!

Remember, with Truvia® Baking Blend, you can savor the sweetness of peanut butter cookies while being mindful of your health goals. So, indulge guilt-free and enjoy every delicious bite.
