While you likely already know that peanut butter cookies aren't exactly nutritional powerhouses, they still have a place in a balanced diet. The NYU Langone Medical Center notes that your diet can include treats -- including cookies -- as long as you consume them in moderation and get most of your daily calories from healthful foods, including fruits, veggies, grains and lean proteins. Peanut butter cookies have some serious nutritional disadvantages, but they do modestly boost your intake of a few nutrients.
Fitness enthusiasts, healthy foodies, dessert fiends, culinary geniuses. Everyone is obsessed with peanut butter—and we can't blame them. You can eat it plain, throw it into sweet recipes, or use it to take a savory dish to the next level; the options are truly limitless. But beyond its indulgent taste and texture, peanut butter also carries tons of health benefits — so long as your stick to the natural nut butters. While processed PB is filled with sugar and waist-widening oils, the real stuff is made with just two ingredients: salt and peanuts.
Using a hand blender, mix the peanut butter, the butter, and both the types of sugar, in a medium bowl, until they form a creamy mixture. Beat both the eggs properly and add them to the creamy batter. Place this batter aside for a few minutes. Sift the flour, the salt, the baking powder and the baking soda together, in a different bowl and then gently stir them into the batter. Place the bowl of batter in a refrigerator, for at least an hour or so. In the meantime, apply a pat of grease on a few cookie sheets.
After an hour is over, remove the cookie mixture from the refrigerator and using the hands, roll 24 cookie-balls of about 1 inch each. Place these cookie-balls on the cookie/ baking sheets. Then, using a fork, flatten the cookie-balls a bit and make a crisscross pattern on each of them. Bake the cookies in a preheated 375 degrees F oven, for either ten minutes, or, till they turn golden-brown in color. Do not over bake the cookies.
