Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
¼ cup applesauce
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 egg whites
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Beat butter, peanut butter, applesauce, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs and beat until smooth.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl; stir into peanut butter batter. Put batter in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
Bake in preheated oven until cookies begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
